    I am really saddened by the news that he passed away today aged 78.
    One of my all time favourites, a great servant, and one of the greats to play for Sunderland.
    My prayers to his family.

    Reliable player and he had a decent coaching career too.

    A great man and a great player. His unselfish application and calmness on the ball should be a model for all players.

    It took a while to forgive him for replacing Stan Anderson, but you couldn't ignore the talent or his wholehearted style.

    SAFC through and through.

    Sad.

    RIP

    When he replaced Anderson, after his last SAFC game against Cardiff when Allchurch ran rings round him, he went on to prove a more than competent replacement who, imho, should have been in the team earlier.

    Wasn't always a full back mate - more often a wing half.

    RIP Martin.

    A wonderful servant to this football club.

    Does he still hold the record for the most International caps by a player while playing for Sunderland?
