'L.' Gilmartin (full name unrecorded) was a Scottish footballer who played as a fullback for Sheffield United in their inaugural season.[1]
Born in Scotland, Gilmartin was one of a number of Scots who travelled South to join the newly formed Yorkshire club after United had advertised for players in the Scottish press.[1] He played regularly during his one season at Bramall Lane, making 41 appearances although the majority of these were friendly games.[1] He also played in all of the games that made up United's first FA Cup campaign, including the record 13-0 loss to Bolton Wanderers.[1]
With United looking to sign a better standard of player in order to compete in League football Gilmartin was released in the summer of 1890.[1]
