He is nicknamed Marty Two Toes. This is because he has just two toes on his left feet. At the age of 13 his foot was crushed by a forklift. Doctors tried hard to get the feet rectified, but it was not to be. They had to amputate three toes and thus he earned his nickname Marty Two Toes. “When he realised he could walk and do everything again he got right back into it, even harder than before. I think he realised in a flash everything could be lost so he’s making the most if it,” said Peter, Martin’s father, about his son’s determination. Peter was able to get former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming to visit Martin in the hospital and that helped raise his spirits.
