Geoffrey "Geoff" Martin (born 9 March 1940) is an English former 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.[4][1] He was on the books of Leeds United, but his only appearance was in the League Cup.[3]
According to a profile in the Workington Times & Star, "Martin was not the most skilful of wingers, but ideal in a 4–4–2 format. His work-rate was phenomenal, so strong and persistent."[5]
