David Edward Martin (born 22 January 1986) is an English footballer who plays for Milton Keynes Dons. He plays as a goalkeeper. He has played for the England under-17, England under-19 and England under-20 teams.
Martin is the son of former West Ham United player Alvin Martin. His brother Joe is also a footballer.
Born in Romford, London Borough of Havering, Martin started his career as a youth-team player with Tottenham Hotspur where he originally played as defender.
He moved to Wimbledon in 2003, shortly before the club relocated to Milton Keynes in September of that year. After the club was reformed as Milton Keynes Dons in June 2004, Martin made his debut in 2004 and went on to make 25 appearances for the club, including 15 league appearances to January 2006.
After a successful trial period, he signed for Liverpool on 12 January 2006. He was an unused substitute in Liverpool's League Cup game against Reading on 25 October 2006. In his first season playing for Liverpool Reserves he kept eight clean sheets out of 13 starts, and became a regular starter in the reserve team. And when Charles Itandje was injured he was an unused substitute in a number of first team matches.
