Emiliano Martinez had the 'swagger' of a top player during brief spell at Oxford United, reveals Chris Wilder

Asked if Martinez was a cut above even back then, Davis said: “At the time I think we had a few players come on loan from bigger clubs, and just because they were from Arsenal the fellow [Oxford] players were expecting them to pull up trees, and some of them didn’t. “But when Martinez came in he was kind of quiet, as goalkeepers are, they just get on with their business.
“He was only 19 at the time, so even he would have had no idea he was going to become an international No.1 goalkeeper. At that age you can fall out of the game.Martinez’s manager at Oxford, Chris Wilder, admits he couldn’t have foreseen the player’s meteoric rise from that clash against Port Vale but with the benefit of hindsight can see the Argentine had the correct mentality to reach those heights.
“I can’t really say I saw an incredible goalkeeper but when young players come down from the Premier League into League One or Two they have to have that swagger, they have to have that confidence, desire and faith in their ability. He certainly had that.“He’s a personality, he’s a character. All the best ones are… he’s now taken that to the international stage and truly believes he’s arguably the best goalkeeper in the world and I don’t think anybody could deny him that at the moment.
