A wonderful tribute. Wish I’d seen him play.

Can we keep this thread about Matt Tees and all he brought to GTFC and end it there.


I was privileged enough to see him play. One of the finest headers of a ball I have ever seen at any level. Thanks for posting this - a lovely diversion from the current turmoil.

My greatest memory of Sir Matt was of him rising to a cross with the great Bobby Moore when we played West Ham in the quarter finals of the league cup. Matt hung there, Bobby was on his way down, a perfect header saw the ball arrow into the top corner of the pontoon net.

Aren't those memories absolutely fantastic? This is what we have to cling to - that one day we can create memories again for future Grimbarians to savour. That was the greatest match I have ever seen at BP. What a shame there is no video footage, not that I have ever seen anyway.

Charlton robbed us of our three best players for a pittance.

Tees, Wright and Green for 23 thousand pound.

What a rip off.

My favourite player by a country mile. Matt and his like are one of the reasons that most of us "old uns" are so disgruntled by the current state of affairs at Blundell Park. Having seen the great man in action and some of the incredible headers that he scored in a team who cared about the shirt, we know we will never see his like in a Town kit ever again.

Modest,unassuming and a true gent.

RIP Matt and thanks for the memories.

Absolutely! If our younger fans witnessed a player like Matt, they would be gobsmacked. For shame.

By the sounds of the comments he was something else and I wish I’d been lucky enough to watch him play. It says a lot about the man that people one or two generations later still know his name.

RIP Matt

Fabulous footage of Sir Matt in his pomp. I remember this game like it was yesterday but can't remember what I had for lunch !

The word legend is thrown around today to describe bang average players but Matt was and is a true Town legend !

If we ever get a new ground surely we have to have the Matt Tees stand which would be a fitting tribute to the great man.
