Don Martin (footballer)

Don Martin (15 February 1944 – 15 November 2009) was an English professional footballer who played for Northampton Town and Blackburn Rovers.

Despite the Cobblers falling back down the divisions Martin continued to score goals and once the club fell into Division Three, Blackburn Rovers stepped in with a bid of £36,000.

Martin spent eight years at Blackburn suffering relegation to the Third Division and winning promotion back to the second tier in that time.

When Bill Dodgin, Jr. took over at Northampton he brought Martin back to the club.

He was a more complete player by now, playing in midfield and defence as well as attack.
