Have been thinking about Matty since I first saw the news and I'm not ashamed to admit that I've been in tears. I got to know Matty quite well over the past year or so and we'd had a few personal chats between us over that time.

I've not been in the best emotional state recently myself and after coming round from surgery only to hear that we'd lost so heavily to Braintree I was devastated and very angry and then to hear the news about Matty just made everything that happened last night inconsequential.

This,had made me all the more determined to get out of here as soon as possible and I then plan to hold some sort of fundraising event in Mattys memory (and ideas) and all proceeds raised will go to a charity of Mattys families choice.

It's times like this that makes me wonder if there is anybody up there as if there is why are they so cruel, life is so unfair.

RIP MATTY. YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THAT NUMBER 24 SHIRT IN THE PROGRAMME SHOULD BE YOURS FOR LIFE.

RIP Matt.

Similarly to others I never met Matt but have followed his progress on here. It was clear that he was a very brave young man who obviously loved GTFC. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

RIP Matty, never spoken to him before but seen him around and clearly a true dedicated Town fan, nothing less than a minute applause should be given for what is a true GTFC Fan.

R.I.P Matt x

Even though i never met the lad, he was such an inspiration.

RIP Matt! I know you'll be watching the mariners from the upper upper findus!

Condolences are with his family and friends at this sad time.

such terrible news. I met Matt a few times and never once heard him complain about being ill...he was too busy chatting about Town! only the other week we were talking online about how excited we were for the new season and the high hopes we had for Town. a really lovely kid who shouldnt have had to have gone through what he did over the last few months. His fight, dedication and optimism should be an inspiration to all fans and the team. RIP Matty and UTM!
