Martin, T. J. (Tommy)

TOMMY MARTIN Tommy Martin's love of football started at a very early age, playing in the back lanes of Newcastle. At twelve years old he started playing for Walker Boys' Youth Scheme and then for the well-respected Wallsend Boys' Youth Football Club. He went on to play top class football in the northern leagues of Newcastle. But in 1980 he began to travel the world and moved on to Jersey, Israel,Australia and the USA. In 1996, he was voted one of the top skills coaches for the under-thirteen age group by the Southern Youth Coaches Committee of the USA. Tommy's first book for Proverse Hong Kong, Spanking Goals & Toe Pokes: Football Sayings Explained was published on 11 June 2008, to coincide with the European Championship.
