Style of play

He has an unbelievable talent, he wants to score goals and can score goals, with a magical left foot. On the other side, he works hard. Marcus was a selfish lad when I first came to the football club and now he's a match-winner and team player.

— Gateshead manager Gary Mills speaking in August 2014.[29]

Maddison is also a freekick specialist. In 2014, he described his unusual freekick technique: "Everyone asks how I do it. You use the side of your foot, but you're hitting it more with your heel. If you hit with the middle of the side of your foot it just curls. If you hit it the way I do, it goes straight and moves at the same time."[13] His style of play has also been compared to playmaker Mesut Ozil.[3]
