An amazing turnout and a fitting send off for Matty. Too many people there to pick out many individuals but did see Kenny Arthur, Michael Coulson, Frankie Artus and a couple of the Football in the Community guys.

It brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye as they carried Matty's coffin down the aisle draped in a GTFC flag with a Mighty Mariner toy sat on the front. Matty was also wearing his "Dawson 24" shirt the vicar later informed us.

Matty's family also showed amazing courage, as the vicar said, no parent should have to suffer the death of a child.

RIP MATTY, SLEEP WELL MATE.

Very sad, but a lovely service going on Les's report. Great to see some GTFC representatives. Very best wishes to Matts family, he did everyone proud in unimaginable circumstances.

So long No 24.

Met him a couple of times at away games and he was a genuinely nice bloke and clearly like a lot of us he was daft on town. A sad day.

Glad Matty got a decent send off. Tremendous courage shown in the face of real adversity. RIP young man.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
