Bio Extra

This winger arrived from Renton along with David Gilfillan. The two made their debut together in a 2-2 League draw at Dumbarton in August 1896. It would be a great season for Thistle who go on to win their first title and gain promotion to the First Division. Martin, however, played just once more, turning out in a 4-1 win Glasgow Cup win at home to the army side, Cameronians.
