Alvin Martin's Boy anybody remember him?

I remember standing in the car parking chanting with about 2-300 hundred other fan's
"we want Martin out say we want Martin out". Nothing much has changed really.
We had a useless and arrogant manager, Maybe it is in the surname.

Was that an evening game V Hull City?

I was playing in (I think my last) tournament at the David Beckham Academy, a good few years back. Merson and Kamara were special guests, along with Alvin Martin. We got chatting and when I told him I was a Southend fan he froze and said 'you must hate me!'.

Alvin Martin signed Kev didn’t he? Nice to see Kev involving Alvin’s boy decades later. It’s the dialectic of football, the determinant of all history

It was. I was there for that too. Remember John Main coming out to announce, with tears in his eyes, that Martin had left.

Tears of joy presumably.

Tears of joy presumably.

You'd hope so, but probably tears of despair at sacking a West Ham legend who he used to watch from the terraces at Upton Park.
