User:KX675/Lee Martin

Lee Robert Martin (born February 9, 1987 in Taunton, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Manchester United.

He signed for Manchester United on 17 December 2003, from Wimbledon, in a deal estimated at £1 million. In January 2006, Martin joined United's feeder club Belgian second division club Royal Antwerp in a loan deal until May 2006, to gain first team match experience. During that short spell he earned the Royal Antwerp Fans' Player of the Year award, and earned the fan-chosen Man of the Match award in five consecutive games. On August 11, 2006 after impressing in pre-season, particularly in a friendly against Celtic, he moved on loan to Rangers.

His skills instantly impressed the Rangers support, who chanted "There's only one Lee Martin" only two games into his career with the club. However after a succession of injuries he failed to establish himself and returned to Manchester United in December 2006.

On 25 January 2007, he moved on loan to Stoke City. He scored his first senior goal in Stoke's 2-1 win against Southampton F.C. on 10 March.

He should not be confused with another Lee Martin who also played for Manchester United, as well as Celtic.

He scored a goal during a friendly match against Chinese side Guangzhou on July 27, 2007, many considering it a brilliant effort from 20 yards out.
