Autographs of Mick Martin
Michael Paul Martin (born 9 July 1951) is an Irish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He is best known for his time at Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United. He also represented the Republic of Ireland from 1971 to 1983.
A devoted Aston Villa supporter, he played his schoolboy football mainly at Home Farm before signing for Seán Thomas' Bohemians in 1968. He spent a year learning his trade in the youth team and "B" team before progressing to the first team, where he made his debut against Dundalk. He soon became a regular in the side, which competed at the top end of the table. When Martin excelled in a league match against Shelbourne in January 1973, the watching Manchester United manager Tommy Docherty liked what he saw and within 48 hours, Martin was on his way to Old Trafford. He spent two years at United before Johnny Giles took him to West Bromwich Albion in 1975. In 2023, Martin was announced as recipient of a winners medal for Manchester United who were the 1975 second division champions, following historian research and a reduction in the number of eligible games by the EFL. Martin moved to Newcastle United for £100,000 in 1978 and spent five years at the club, making 147 appearances and scoring five goals. He was nicknamed "Zico" by Newcastle fans for his free kick skills and pure football ability. He later played for Vancouver Whitecaps, Cardiff City, Peterborough United, Rotherham United and Preston North End. Internationally, he played for the Republic of Ireland, for whom he won a total of 51 caps. His first cap was against Austria in October 1971 and his last against Spain in April 1983.
After retiring as a player, Martin had spells on the coaching staff at Newcastle and under Liam Brady at Celtic. Martin was also a regular match summariser on Metro Radio and won a Sony Gold award with Magic 1152, along with Justin Lockwood, for the coverage of Alan Shearer's testimonial.
