Christy Martin was an Irish footballer who played in the Scottish League with both Bo'ness and Falkirk.
When Martin began his international career in 1925 there were, in effect, two Ireland teams, chosen by two rival associations.
Both associations, the Northern Ireland–based IFA and the Irish Free State–based FAI claimed jurisdiction over the whole of Ireland and selected players from the whole island.
Martin made his one and only appearances for the IFA XI on 28 February 1925 in a 3–0 defeat against Scotland at Windsor Park.
[5] Martin made his only appearance for the FAI XI on 23 April 1927 in a 2–1 defeat against Italy B at Lansdowne Road.
