William "Plugger" Martin, Irish Athlete

William "Plugger" Walker Martin (August 4 1860 - 1942) was an Irish cyclist. In 1895 he traveled across the Atlantic to race, winning 40 races throughout Europe that year. The following year, Martin was attracted by the big prize money on offer Down Under and made the long journey to Australia to race. He raced in every colony over the next six years, during which time he was said to have won 249 races. At the age of 73, he took to the track again at the Melbourne Cricket Ground where in 1933, he finished in third place in the Old Timer’s Austral Wheel Race. Martin was the person behind such ideas as toe clips and pursuit racing.
