Leonard Martin was an Australian results reader celebrated for his work on the BBC's Grandstand, where he read football scores and racing results. Born in Australia, he began his broadcasting career before moving to the UK in 1953. He joined Grandstand from its first episode in 1958 and became known for his distinctive intonation when announcing scores, which helped clarify match outcomes. He remained with the program until his passing in 1995, and after his retirement, he was succeeded by Tim Gudgin. Martin was also involved in voice-over work for Movietone newsreels.
