I’m sure I’ve heard of this guy before?

Matt has been playing since the original days of catch 22’s formation in Leeds.

So he must be some kind of expert player by now then?

You would think wouldn’t you? However, his Zen studies, frequent trips to Buddhist retreats and the ongoing search for true enlightenment using ancient herbal remedies have subdued the natural tendencies to take the game too seriously.

Sounds like a load of tree hugging hippy crap to me. Does that mean he lacks a competitive nature?

On the contrary. He loves nothing more than throwing himself into walls headfirst and producing big layout d, though 99% of these are due to him poaching his marker all day long. Also a self proclaimed fan of his patented over the shoulder push pass, generally into marked areas of the pitch, though done just to add more of a challenge to the receiver you understand.

Experimental eh?

Some of his past hairstyles may well have qualified that’s for sure. Though the demands of managing a business have calmed them down over the years.

Manager of a business you say. That’s hardly a hippy profession?

He runs a gift shop in Clapham, stocking a range from hippy upwards. If anyone’s in need of a high quality vase.

Most likely to say:

“The throw was right, the player just didn’t run there.”
“Green.”
“Terry you fu*king cu*t!”

Least likely to say:

“Drugs? No, I don’t smoke actually.”
