[3] After three seasons at Oakwell, he next moved to Sunderland in February 1913 [4] and then to Raith Rovers. [5] By April, Martin found himself in the final of the Scottish Cup with Raith but ended up on the losing side. [6] In 1914, Martin scored two goals for Raith Rovers in a Scottish Cup win over the then mighty Hearts, where he broke a tooth in doing so.
