Frederick Martin (died 1932) was an English footballer who played as an inside right for South Kirkby, Barnsley, Sunderland, and Raith Rovers
Martin began his football career with South Kirkby [1] before being signed by Barnsley in May 1909. [2] He played at either inside right or centre forward for Barnsley. [3] After three seasons at Oakwell, he next moved to Sunderland in February 1913 [4] and then to Raith Rovers. [5] By April, Martin found himself in the final of the Scottish Cup with Raith but ended up on the losing side. [6] In 1914, Martin scored two goals for Raith Rovers in a Scottish Cup win over the then mighty Hearts, where he broke a tooth in doing so. [7] His exploits for Raith led to him being heavily linked to a return to Sunderland or a transfer to Hearts or Celtic. [8]
Martin died in January 1932 at the age of 43. [9]
