I seem to recall his brother posting that he didn't know anything about the result on the night at the time.

Quoted from Les Brechin
The away game at Braintree was not just a sad night because of the result it was also the night that Matty Dawson sadly passed away.

I remember the night well. I was all set to go to Braintree but I had to go into Hull Royal Infirmary and that very day was when I had my last major op. When I came round later that evening and heard the score I thought I must be dreaming and still in the operating thearte.

The next morning, there I was sat in my armchair by the side of my bed with my head bandaged up, feeling sorry for myself and thinking about the result when I heard that Matty had passed away overnight. It put everything into perspective and my problems and Town's problem just did not matter anymore.

I'm not sure if the players are aware of this or if Matty actually knew the score that night but Town losing 5-0 at Braintree could well have been Matty's last memory of Grimsby Town so lets hope we put things right on Saturday. Not just for our play-off hopes but also in Matty Dawson's memory.


Great post Les down at the park this morn to pick up tickets for some mates, had a tear or 2 when i looked up at the gates. Lets hope the boys can keep this run going and get us into the play offs, on the 8th of Aug when the managers visited him in hospital, they asked him his prediction for this coming season, and without hesitation he said the play offs.
It would be a fitting tribute for Matty if we could make it all the way Wembley and reclaim our place back in the football league. Matty always use to say to me you have seen the good and the bad times, all i have seen is the bad times.

After all the recent posts regarding the trust, Fenty, shares, ownership, the York defeat amongst others, what a fantastic post and one that makes everything a little clearer. UP THE MARINERS!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

It's over 6 months now isn't it? Bloody heck. First time I saw Matty and Richard's gate on Saturday. Got a little tear in my eye
Would Matty get a winners medal if we win the play offs?

Brought a tear to my eye this, didn't even know the lad.
It would be nice if the players knew, perhaps you could forward that Les by email to John?

Matty & Richard were both top lads and are missed on our battlebus jaunts. It would be brilliant if we could repay their faith in GTFC and get back into the league

The top corner  of the Pontoon will be in full voice for Matty and Rich , hope there is a big crowd. Would be great to hear 'Matt and Richards black and white Army' echoing around blundell park.
