He passed away peacefully at his care home on June 9 2017, leaving behind his loving family, wife Sandra, daughter Sharon, and son Garin.Martin’s son Garin looks back at his father’s life and career in sport and education:Martin was raised as a farm labourer’s son in Worcestershire and was educated at King Charles 1 School in Kidderminster.He was a student at St. Luke’s College, Exeter between 1958-1961, where he completed his teacher training, before taking up his first teaching post at Northampton Grammar School.He returned to Exeter in 1963 to take up a lecturing post on the Physical Education staff at St. Luke’s College, where he remained for the next 40 years.Martin’s rugby career started at Center and Wing in a star studded Northampton Saints team, He won his first cap for England in his first season of senior rugby at Northampton, and gained his last cap after moving to Exeter in 1963.
Martin playing for England in 1964Martin was capped five times for England before injury finished his playing career at the age of only 23, and he remained the last full England international from Exeter Rugby Club for the next 48 years, until Tom Johnson was capped in 2012. Read More Related Articles.Whilst his brief playing career was cut short by injuries, his involvement in the game continued as a highly successful coach.In his 17 years as coach of St. Luke’s College in Exeter he was instrumental in the development of hundreds of first class rugby players including 35 full internationals and seven British Lions.Such was the strength of St.
Luke’s during this era, the College held down a formidable first class fixture list against the likes of Gloucester, Wasps, Bristol, Rosslyn Park, Neath and Llanelli.Notable highlights were UAU, and Middlesex 7’s victories, along with the fierce rivalry with Loughborough Colleges, which remains the stuff of student folk law to this day!At this time, well before the professional era, educational establishments were an important feeder into the senior and national game.The coaching axis between Martin Underwood at St. Luke’s, and the revered Jim Greenwood at Loughborough was the most productive of them all, feeding the national game with talent for nearly two decades. Though the job went to the legendary Llanelli coach, Carwyn James, the mutual respect between them led to meetings before the tour.James was an admirer of the inventive thinking that gave top teams like his so much trouble against Martin’s students! During this time, ever committed to the local cause, Martin also took on the role of Devon County coach for two seasons.Running in parallel with his rugby commitments, Martin was a passionate and committed educator, dedicating 40 years of service to the teaching profession as a member of the teacher training staff at St.
Luke’s College and latterly Exeter University. Read More Related Articles.Working alongside other outstanding staff, Martin was part of a golden era of teacher training that put Exeter, and St. Luke’s College at the forefront of teacher training nationally.His dedicated and innovative approach to coaching rugby was equally apparent in his teaching and Martin was behind much of the thinking in advanced teaching methodologies that have become the norm today in physical education.Much like his rugby, his reputation as an educator quickly gained an international dimension. As part of a separate commitment to the Department of Education of Ontario, Martin ran Movement Education workshops across Canada for seven consecutive summers, which had an enduring impact on the Canadian system. Martin in 2015“Because of his work here in Ontario, curriculum outlines for teachers were changes to include many of the teaching concepts of his presentations. He was a force for change.” (Walter Mellor, 2010, Faculty of Education, Queens University, Kingston Ontario)When St. Luke’s College became part of Exeter University in 1978, Martin was encouraged by his great mentor, Professor Ted Wragg (Director of the School of Education and acclaimed columnist and broadcaster) to make his unique approach the subject of research.
Martin was to become a renowned authority in teaching styles that led to the award of his PhD in 1985.He also went on to produce important teaching resources and ran workshops for local authorities across the UK to support national education strategy.
