Former Middlesbrough FC and Northern Ireland goalkeeping legend
“Martin worked with me for 2 years at Middlesbrough coaching all levels of our youth goalkeepers. He has a great ability to observe and correct goalkeepers technical and tactical ability and decisions making. I felt all the goalkeepers came away from his sessions having improved and full of confidence. I wish we could of held onto him longer!”
Paul Bruce
Former QPR player and QPR academy coach.
“I first met Martin when he arrived to develop the academy goalkeepers in 2009. Week after week the goalkeepers in my squad improved fantastically. Not just with their shot stopping but their starting positions and understanding and reading of the game. I noticed my keepers weren’t there just to save shots but they were taking responsibility for many situations and integrating themselves with the defence. I took time to watch a few of his sessions and his work in small sided games was a massive factor. Positive decision making, communication, distribution and tempo were all worked on diligently which my team benefited from.”
Danny Bailey
Former Exeter City Captain and Director of Bailey Elite
“Martin has worked with my goalkeepers over the past 6 years and every session is progressive informative and energetic. His knowledge of the position and ability to develop any of my goalkeepers from beginners to elite is very impressive. In my opinion he’s the best around!”
Peter Hucker
Former QPR goalkeeper
“Martin coached goalkeepers at my soccer schools for many years. His sessions were very popular and always well attended. He always got the best out of all the keepers. Several of the boys went on to go for trials at pro clubs as a result of working with Martin.”
