Martyn looks to be number one

Those of you who think that he has been brought in as "cover" for Richard Wright may be very mistaken. Remember, this is a player who was in the England squad for the World Cup last year. Whats more, with all his experiance he is less pronbe to those momnts of madness which Wright and Simonsen suffer from so much.


MNartyn is certainly looking forward to the challenge. "I hope my arrival here will help Richard [Wright]" he said. "As I know from having Paul Robinson challenging me, it pushed me for those years and he felt the benefit of me pushing him.

"It'll be a similar situation here. Hopefully, I can provide competition for the good of the club. There are other goalkeepers here who are very capable and we'll all be pushing each other to make that starting place our own."
