Rest in peace: FANS PAY TRIBUTE TO READING FC LEGEND
Former Reading FC player Emi Martinez has been recognised once again on the world stage as he won the best goalkeeper award for a second consecutive year.
Having taken home the Yashin Trophy in 2023, Martinez won again at this year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony.
He also finished in 18th place in the 2024 Ballon d’Or listings.
Martinez made a great impact despite only being in Berkshire for a short time.
He joined on loan from Arsenal in January 2019 and put in some exceptional performances to help the Royals avoid relegation from the Championship under Jose Gomes, playing 18 times in the league.
His career has gone from strength to strength since reigniting his career with that loan spell with the Royals.
