Alvin Edward Martin (born July 29 1958 in Bootle) is a retired English footballer who spent most of his career with West Ham United. Martin started out with Merseyside club Everton as a schoolboy, but left in 1973 after the Goodison Park club only offered him an apprenticeship on a part time basis, stating at the time that he "would never kick a ball for them again".
