Martin was part of the Hungarian team which won the gold medals in the 1952 and the 1956 tournaments. He played two matches and scored five goals. His name is often left out of the 1956 Olympics because he defected to the United States shortly after and the communist party of Hungary at the time omitted him.
Martin is currently an associate professor in the French department of Pasadena City College.[1]
