Inter Milan kick off documentary series with Nigeria legend Martins

Inter Milan have used Obafemi Martins as the focus for the first episode of their new documentary series titled 'Inter Roots'.

The video highlighted the rise of the Nigeria forward from Inter's youth team to the first team, where he scored 49 goals in 136 appearances for the Nerazzurri.

Martins joined Inter Milan from Serie C side Reggiana in 2001 - the club signed him from Nigerian outfit FC Ebedei after his impressive three-month trial.

He started his career in Milan with the youth team and he played a key role in helping the club win the Campionato Nazionale Primavera - an Italian youth competition - in his debut campaign with 23 goals scored in the 2001-02 season.
