yossarian 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Anyone see his brother Darren play for Youth team/Reserves about 15 years ago? Am I right in thinking he was a real prospect? About the most aggressive player ever seen pull on the yellow n green. Would have been given a contract at another club that didn''t value sportmanship and family values quite so much. Is Matty in a similar mould? Haven''t been to any friendlies..........bit poorly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely top bloke, never thought he would be an overly agressive footballer - but saw him play for Wroxham at Carrow Road one night, and would not have wanted to be on the other end of one of his tackles!His brother seems to be quite a similar competitor, but perhaps a bit more of a playmaker than an enforcer from what little I''ve seen so far. Good vision to get the ball out to Hoolahan for our third goal against Wigan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Segura 0 Posted August 6, 2009 I believe he had offers from a few clubs but didn''t take them for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beauseant 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Darren was a lovely, quiet guy off the pitch but turned into a different person on it. Matty seems much calmer on the pitch, although I''ve never met him off it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
