Geoffrey Martin (9 March 1940 â 6 November 2021) was an English footballer who scored 41 goals from 295 appearances in the Football League playing as a left winger for Chesterfield (in two spells), Darlington, Carlisle United, Workington and Grimsby Town. He was on the books of Leeds United, but his only appearance was in the League Cup. He won the Fourth Division championship with Chesterfield in the 1969âÂÂ70 season, after which he retired.
According to a profile in the Workington Times & Star, "Martin was not the most skilful of wingers, but ideal in a 4âÂÂ4âÂÂ2 format. His work-rate was phenomenal, so strong and persistent."
Martin died on 6 November 2021, at the age of 81.
