Sunderland v Chelsea
Martin's first goal in England's top division came in a 3-0 win.Sunderland were attacking the Fulwell end and a half cleared corner came out to Martin on the right side of midfield.He moved forward to the edge of the corner of the Chelsea box shrugging off a couple of tackles before hitting a right foot shot from around 18 yards.This was blocked but the ball rebounded to him, he immediately hit a left foot shot which was also blocked. Agan the ball rebounded to him and still in his stride he let fly again with the right foot and the ball flashed past Bonetti into the Chelsea net.
West Ham v Sunderland

Sunderland v Liverpool
In a 2-2 home draw against Liverpool, Martin scored one of the most unusual goals ever seen at Roker Park.Bringing the ball through from midfield he played a "one-two" with another Sunderland player but the return pass was overhit towards Liverpool keeper Tommy Lawrence. Martin had continued his run however and when Lawrence bent down to pick up the loose ball Martin slid in taking the ball through Lawrences legs into the goal!
Norwich v Sunderland
1-0 down and with time running out Martin came forward for a left wing corner taking up position around the penalty spot. The corner came straight to him at a fair speed and an awkward height.It was too low to head and too high to kick, however Martin leant back and pulled off a high volley on the full which rocketed into the Norwich net.A few minutes later while defending the Sunderland goal Martin sustained the injury which finished his football career.
