Gutted! Had the pleasure of speaking to Matt at a couple if games last season, lively lad and was always singing load and proud!! Makes you realise just how unimportant and insignificant football really is!

Really hope the club do something for the next home match.... Minute's applause/silence?

Sleep well matey!

I've just re-read the whole of the "Cancer Journey" thread. What struck me even more was the matter of fact way that this incredibly brave young man dealt with the increasingly bad news that he was getting. I am almost three times his age and yet I know without a shadow of doubt that if I'd walked in his shoes I'd have done it as a gibbering wreck.

That thread should be locked and saved for posterity so that anyone fed up at the fortunes of the team can look at it and remind themselves of someone who faced terrible illness with the utmost dignity.

Thoughts are with Matt's parents. The old adage is true. You just shouldn't bury your kids...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Didn't realise until i came on here how many friends Matty really had, when the funeral arrangments have been made the family will post it. All that can be said at the min about it, is that it is not a black tie job, the family want a celebration of Matty's life and for everyone to wear football shirts. As most people on here should now realise Matty lived and died football.

i first saw him in the imp on Saturday,he was in a wheelchair with all kinds of pipes and stuff coming out of him,this lad comes out in that state to support his team,whilst other "fans" of town sit in their armchairs with their doritos and opinions slagging the team,the chairman,and most importantly the real "fans" off. i looked him in the eye and he smiled at me,even at that stage of illness he was friendly,positive,warm,and a real true fan.
i looked at him and felt embarrassed,not for him,but for myself,for he made me feel so humble with his bravery and spirit.
i know its way to early but if his poor parents ever read this thread they will realise he was special,not because he had cancer,but because he touched so many peoples lives and everyone who knew him loved him............rest in peace matty,we town fans will NEVER forget you xxxx.

So, so, sorry to hear of the lad's sad passing. So very glad though that the Town visited him prior to it and made him feel so very special. Surely that puts most things into context...you can make dreams, and destroy them. Never met you Matty but feel I know you from your postings on here, and your bravery in the face of such adversity. If Icenian's reading this, take care of Matty.


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.
