Len Martin

Len Martin (17 April 1919 – 21 August 1995) is an Australian results reader. He was noted in the UK for reading out the football results, associated football pools statistics and horse-racing results on the BBC's Saturday afternoon sports programme, ''Grandstand''.
Martin was born in Australia where he began his broadcasting career. He came to England on holiday in 1953 for the Coronation and got a call from the BBC the day before he was due to sail for Australia. He never used his return ticket home, and only once went back to Australia, on holiday. He performed his Grandstand role from the programme's very first edition in 1958 until his death in 1995. Martin was well known for his intonation when reading the scores. It was clear from the way in which he presented the home or away team name, followed by number of goals, whether the result was a home win, an away win, a no-score draw or a score draw; this was important for the pools results. He often said that his nightmare result was: Forfar 4, East Fife 5 (there was in fact a result of Forfar 5, East Fife 4 during the 1963–64 season, but it was on a Wednesday evening).〔(The Knowledge ), ''The Guardian'', 24 November 2004〕〔''The Guardian'', Thursday, 23 April 1964, p. 6〕 He was succeeded by Tim Gudgin who also used the distinct BBC intonation.

In addition to his role on ''Grandstand'', Martin was a voice-over artist heard on Movietone newsreels. He also used to run four flights of stairs at Lime Grove Studios after ''Grandstand'' to introduce Simon Dee, with 'Simon' elongated, in the distinctive manner.
