Lee Martin is a former English footballer who became an icon at Manchester United for his role in the club’s 1990 FA Cup victory. Born on February 9, 1968, Martin joined United’s youth system and made his senior debut in 1988. Originally a left-back, he adapted as a winger and defender, known for his work rate and defensive capabilities. Martin's defining moment came in the 1990 FA Cup final replay against Crystal Palace, where he scored the only goal to secure United’s first major trophy under Sir Alex Ferguson, cementing his place in United folklore.
Over nine years at United, Martin made 108 appearances across all competitions, playing a crucial role in the club’s transitional period and paving the way for future success. In 1994, he moved to Celtic on a free transfer, followed by spells at Bristol Rovers and Huddersfield Town. Known for his versatility and commitment on the field, Martin retired from professional football in the late 1990s, leaving behind a legacy that is fondly remembered by United fans. |
