Morning all,

We woke to the sad new of a true Northender passing last night after a long but a Martin enthused battle with cancer.

I'm sure some of you will have known Martin and his love for everything PNE including his documentary about PNE's Gentry Day in 2019.

Thankfully I don't have much experience in this, but I've informed the club and sent them a picture of Martin, if possible, could you join me and anybody that knew him in an applause when the picture is displayed.

I will update if the club inform me when they will be displaying the picture.

Thanks in advance.

Joe
 
Very sad news.

Knew Martin well and whilst an exile his love for the club never lessened.

His passion for helping with The Gentry was always welcomed.

I never knew he had been ill.

My thoughts are with all his family and friends at this sad time. 💙
 
Oh dear, that is sad news, I knew Martin well, I spoke with his wife Nicola recently and she said he was getting some revolutionary treatment, looks like it had gone too far, he was a great man, we met up from time to time both here and even in LA, and would discuss many things from football to politics to the creative industry, a dear friend, RIP mate.
 
I did not know this fellow personally but if a true North Ender has passed from this life then that is a loss for all of us. RIP.
 
Tragic. Knew Martin loosely from back in the day - a true Northender with genuine passion for the club - but had no idea he was ill. Can’t help but think that’s another one gone with a lifetime of commitment and support and no real great achievements on the pitch to recount. Thoughts with Nicola and the family.
