EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Con Martin in action for Aston Villa during the 1950/1951 season. Known for his versatility, Martin initially played as a centre-half before transitioning to become a goalkeeper in the following season. A true dual international, Martin proudly represented both Ireland teams - the FAI XI and the IFA XI - throughout his illustrious career. Not only did he don their jerseys but also had the honor of captaining both squads, showcasing his exceptional leadership skills on and off the field. The legacy of football excellence runs deep in this family as Con's son Mick Martin followed in his father's footsteps, making a name for himself playing for renowned clubs such as Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion during the 1970s. In this remarkable image brought to life by Colorsport / Wilkes, we witness Con Martin fearlessly guarding Aston Villa's goalpost with unwavering determination. His steely gaze reflects years of experience and dedication that made him an icon among fans worldwide. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us celebrate not only Con Martin's extraordinary talent but also his invaluable contributions to Irish football history.
