Football

A full-forward, from 1909 until 1919, he was Geelong's leading goalkicker in every season except 1915. In 1916, the club did not take part in the competition due to the World [War I|war], and Martini played with Richmond for the season and topped their goalkicking.
With 51 goals in 1910, he became the first Geelong player to kick over 50 goals in a season, and it was the biggest tally in the league for the year, posthumously earning a Leading Goalkicker Medal for his efforts. When he retired in 1920, he had managed to kick 333 goals for Geelong, which at the time was a club record.
