I don't know Matt as he was just a baby at the time I moved away from the area although my parents still lived there and I visited until my Dad died in 2014. Matt's Dad's family lived just a stone's throw from Monkwood School (Harding or Meadow Avenue) and his Mum's family lived directly across the street from us in the lower part of Hague Avenue that was built around 1963. She had 3 brothers who were all well known in local football (Roddis) and her Dad, Matt's Grandad even played for England Schoolboys. At one time when with SW Matt lived next door but one to his Grandparents house, hardly a snob as a professional footballer living on a council estate?
