Des Martin (2 August 1913 – 7 December 1985) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Martin, who was born in Sale, played at the Frankston Bombers before coming to South Melbourne. He was already 27 when he made his debut in the 1941 VFL season.[2] A rover, he played nine games that year and made his next appearance in round 11 of the 1942 season, then crossed over to Richmond mid-season.[2] He played as a reserve for Richmond in the 1942 VFL Grand Final, which they lost to Essendon.[2] It was his final league appearance, as he would join Berrigan as captain-coach when he returned from war service.[3][4]
