| 1975–1979 Washington Diplomats 58 (0) |
Eric Martin having established a club-appearance record for post-war goalkeepers.
with 58 appearances for the Diplomats, succumbed to a double-fracture of a leg.
He then had various jobs, with an American TV network; as a bar-tender;
in a half-way home for troubled juveniles and finally for a mail-order company
in Maryland. Retired he sometimes posted Facebook photos of himself trekking around
some of North America’s beauty spots looking very much in shape.
