Martinez may have left Arsenal to join Aston Villa in pursuit of a regular first-team spot but he certainly left some fine memories of his time at the Emirates.
And we'll always be grateful for his top-class displays that massively contributed to our FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs.
The keeper has reiterated several times that he wants to fulfil his dream of becoming the first-choice keeper for the national team and now his hopes are boosted as Emi's included in the Argentina squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Bolivia.
The 28-year-old represented Argentina at a youth level but is yet to make his debut for the senior team.
Martinez joined Arsenal as a youngster and had to wait for 10 years and go on loan 6 times before eventually getting a real first-team opportunity. And he seized it with his both hands and could soon play in the one team with Lionel Messi.
