Martin John Horton (21 April 1934[1] – 3 April 2011) was an English cricketer, who played in two Tests in 1959. He was born in Worcester, England, and played the bulk of his first-class cricket for his native county. After his career in England, he became New Zealand's first national cricket coach.
The cricket writer Colin Bateman described Horton as "a versatile all-rounder who could bat anywhere in the top six and who twice took more than 100 wickets in a season with his off-spin...".[1]
