A Magpie legend, Jack Martin, passed away last week. Jack was left full-back on the 1964 championship winning team and also played on many Schweppes Cup winning teams. He was one of the most formidable defenders of his generation and was certainly not a player you wanted marking you. Our deepest condolences are with Kathleen, Denise and Anna. May he rest in peace
