Hugh Martin (9 April 1888 – 6 January 1970) was a Scottish international rugby union player.
Martin was a lightly built and pacy wing three–quarter.[1]
A three–time Oxford rugby blue, Martin is the only person to have twice scored a hat–trick in The Varsity Match. He scored three tries in the 1907 Varsity Match, then bettered that by crossing for four tries in 1909. The latter feat was overshadowed by teammate Ronald Poulton, who managed five tries in the same match. He was capped five times for Scotland and scored one try, with his appearances encompassing the 1908 and 1909 Home Nations Championships.[2]
