Martin started her football career playing for a local club near Norwich called Costessey LFC.
She was captain of the Lowestoft side that reached the 1979 WFA Cup final where they lost 1-0 to Southampton WFC.
She made her England debut against Belgium in 1980 and in a subsequent match scored twice against Republic of Ireland at Dalymount Park, Dublin.
Her side triumphed over Doncaster Rovers Belles 4-3 with the match coincidentally being held at Carrow Road.
After Lowestoft Ladies disbanded, Martin signed several of their players including Linda Curl, Sallie Jackson and Vicky Johnson.
