I knew Matt for almost 30 years working with and for him for a time across three firms. He was a people person, fun and with a great sense of humour, who loved a good story. In 2002 on the Barnsley FC administration I organised a book signing for Mick McCarthy, a former Barnsley player and international manager. Matt used to recall being introduced and told that he must be David Fairclough. He responded that no he wasn't, he just worked for me! Matt had great belief in himself and in his team, he was a tremendous support to his colleagues and staff and it was a pleasure to work with him. He is fondly remembered and very sadly missed.
