Mick Martin comes from a strong footballing family his father Con represented both Ireland teams, the FAI XI and the IFA XI, winning 36 caps in total, while his brother, also named Con, is a former League of Ireland player, and his nephew Owen Garvan is an ex-Ireland U21 international whose former clubs include Crystal Palace and St Patrick’s Athletic.

Mick himseld is best known for his time at Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United while he also represented the Republic of Ireland on 51 occassions.

Martin never qualified for a major tournament with Ireland during his time involved with the national team from 1971 to 1983.

He was involved in a couple of near misses, the most high profile being Ireland’s 1-0 loss to Belgium - infamous because of the referee’s performance - when a draw would have been enough to see Eoin Hand’s side through to the 1982 World Cup.
