West Ham goalkeeper David Martin burst into tears after the Hammers sealed a massive 1-0 victory over London rivals Chelsea earlier today.
The 33-year-old stopper was making his debut for his boyhood club. Martin has acted as West Ham’s third-choice goalkeeper this season but was given his dream debut by Manuel Pellegrini this afternoon.
Martin has deep ties to the Irons, his father Alvin played 592 times for West Ham, according to Soccer Base.
