Wizard Wednesday | Allan Martin

As we celebrate 150 years of Aberavon Rugby Club, every Wednesday we'll look back at the players who have worn the Blood & Black with pride and helped shape the club's rich history.

This week's Wizard is Allan Martin.

🏉 Position: Second Row�
🎽 Aberavon Appearances: 500+�
📅 Years: 1966 - 1992

Allan Martin was renowned for outstanding line-out forward and the unusual ability, for a second row, to kick long-range goals.

Whether it was scoring then a club-record of 285 points in the 1973–74 season, a remarkable achievement for a forward, their contribution remains an important chapter in the story of Aberavon RFC.

Thank you for everything you gave to the Wizards.

💬 Supporters: What's your favourite memory of watching Allan Martin in the Blood & Black? Share your stories and photos in the comments.
