Martin Hinshelwood (born 16 June 1953) is an English former professional footballer and football club coach and manager. He is currently an academy coach at Lewes and was Interim Manager at Crawley Town F.C. alongside Gary Alexander, following the sacking of manager Richie Barker.
Hinshelwood was born in Reading, but grew up in Croydon, and in 1969, (along with his brother Paul) played in the final of the London FA Schools Cup, watched by then Crystal Palace manager Arthur Rowe. Rowe was impressed, and the brothers were invited for trials with the club. Both performed well, and were taken on as apprentices.
Martin Hinshelwood played in the centre of midfield, and quickly fought his way into the team, while his brother initially languished in the lower echelons of the club.
Hinshelwood was part of the team that reached the Semi-final of the 1976 FA Cup, and played in the giant-killings of Leeds United, Chelsea, and of Sunderland (all away from home). In the Semi-final game, Third Division Palace were drawn against Second Division Southampton. Despite the Saints being a tier above the Eagles, Palace were cast as favourites. Martin would miss the game through injury, and some see this as the reason that Southampton beat Palace by two goals to nil.
That injury proved to dominate Hinshelwood's career, and it would eventually lead to him retiring from the game, in late 1977.
