13. "thats true about him and Webber" In response to In response to 2
But Martin had already built relationships with Frieder and Perry Watson, and he started in on Traylor befor Webber ever played a game for UM
I actually know a guy who knew Ed Martin personally. Martin was the kind of dude who passed out turkeys and coats to kids in Detroit in the winter and paid for basketball shoes for scrubs and stars alike. Paints a conflicting picture, but Ed Martin had the kind of love in the city that can only be earned over time. If it hadnt been Webber it would have been Traylor or Taylor.
