Martin is a legendary English football commentator for Sky Sports and the voice of the FIFA videogame series. In 2003 he was voted FA Premier League Commentator of the Decade. After graduating from the University of East Anglia, he enjoyed a sporting stint as an amateur player at Corinthian Casuals before moving into production and presenting at LWT, Granada and ITV before moving to Sky. A lifelong Woking FC fan, Martin is also currently on the coaching team for the football club, who finished mid-table in the Vanaramara National League 2021/22 season. Still close to the RGS community, Martin is also a parent of a former RGS boy. At a recent King’s Lecture given at the School, Martin emphasized that, “you might not find your path by an orthodox route, but if you have genuine passion, you’ll find your path.”
