A bank manager with Barclays Bank, Cearns became a board member with West Ham taking over the chairmanship in 1990 from his father, Len Cearns. He held the position until 1992 when it was taken over by Terry Brown.[2] Although no longer chairman, Cearns remained on the board until 1 December 2006 when he resigned when the club was sold to Icelandic billionaire, Björgólfur Guðmundsson for £85m.[3][4][5][6] As part of the takeover he made £7.76m from the sale of his 1,844,000 shares in West Ham.[7] Cearns' time at West Ham is remembered for his advocacy, with Peter Storrie, of the Hammers Bond scheme, a financial bond which West Ham fans would have been forced to buy before being allowed to purchase a season ticket. The proposal led to demonstrations both inside and outside West Ham's ground and to pitch invasions.[1][8][9] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=MARTIN WILLIAM CEARNS|url=http://companiesintheuk.co.uk/director/125044/martin-cearns|publisher=Companiesintheuk.co.uk|accessdate=21 January 2013}} {{West Ham United F.C. chairmen}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Cearns, Martin}}{{England-footy-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last=May|first=John|title=Who IS Terence Brown?|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/2539355.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|accessdate=21 January 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Martin William Cearns|url=http://company-director-check.co.uk/director/901263062|publisher=Company-director-check-co.uk|accessdate=21 January 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Atwal|first=June|title=WW1 memoir gives window on history|url=http://www.newhamrecorder.co.uk/news/ww1_memoir_gives_window_on_history_1_930457|accessdate=21 January 2013|newspaper=www.newhamrecorder.co.uk|date=27 June 2011}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Eggert: Pardew can bring the good times back to Upton Park|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-417608/Eggert-Pardew-bring-good-times-Upton-Park.html|accessdate=21 January 2013|newspaper=www.dailymail.co.uk|date=21 November 2006}} 6. ^{{cite book|last=Belton|first=Brian|title=Brown Out|year=2008|publisher=Pennant Books|location=London|isbn=978-1-906015-11-4|pages=37}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/nov/22/sport.comment|title= Brown cashes in on overseas gold rush|last=Conn |first=David |date=22 November 2006|work=The Guardian|accessdate=21 January 2013}} 8. ^{{cite news|last=Pierson|first=Mark|title=Football: West Ham fear FA censure over pitch invasion|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-west-ham-fear-fa-censure-over-pitch-invasion-1285373.html|publisher=Independent|accessdate=21 January 2013|location=London|date=1997-01-27}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=League Honour Martin Cearns|url=http://www.whufc.com/articles/20060117/league-honour-martin-cearns_2236884_1140708|publisher=www.whufc.com|accessdate=19 January 2013}} 6 : 1945 births|English businesspeople|West Ham United F.C. directors and chairmen|English football chairmen and investors|Living people|Date of birth missing (living people) |
