singe Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 This cropped up on Twitter. I guess a few may well now say they were aware, would be good to hear more. I know he was born in Rochdale. Here is the article that sparked, with references to Rachubka, Goram and Belle Vue (tenously) http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/became-racing-driver-thanks-mum-8313063
harry1203 Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 I went to school with him and his brother. He went to Firbank and North Chadderton school. He’s lived in a Royton all his life and now lives on Tandle Hill Rd. They had season tickets when they were younger.

Magister Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Scunthorpe keeper lives on Tandle Hill Road......our keeper comes from Haiti, ......get me the Head of Recruitment on the phone!
yarddogs Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 His brothers son has just signed for my U12’s team and Matt was good enough to hand end of season awards out in the summer also just paid for the teams kit ... top fella ?
NewBlue Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 To follow on from the weird pointless info on him: he goes to the gym in Ashton...

Nothing wrong with humanising footballers. Makes a change from the common conclusion that opposition players/managers are baby eating monsters based on a couple of moments during 90 minutes.

PatchLatics Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I thought this was standard knowledge? Especially when he was with Blackpool in the Prem?
leeslover Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I once commented on the size of his bottom.
rosa Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Does he really drive from Royton to Scunthorpe every day?!

ghostofcecere Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 I saw Gilks paying his respects at the remeberence service in Royton Park yesterday??
