| Date of birth | 11 April 1974 |
| Place of birth | Bury |
| Nationality | Irish |
| Weight | 75 kg |
| Height | 1.75 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
A club captain who leads by example, Matt has an incredible record of not missing a league game since he joined Ipswich Town for £800,000 from AFC Bournemouth in July1997.
A hard-working midfielder, he gives maximum effort in every game, seems to cover every blade of grass on the pitch and plays in the right spirit, hard but fair and rarely seeing a yellow card.
Born in Lancashire, he qualifies to play the Republic of Ireland through his grandmother.
Reflecting his club form, Matt was a near ever-present during the 2002 World Cup qualifying programme.
His highlight was a sensational equaliser in the 1-1 with Portugal in Lisbon.
With an astute right foot drive, he gave himself - and his country - a tremendous morale booster with his goal that earned a draw against Cameroon in Ireland's opening game in the 2002 World Cup finals.
Matt returned to the Premiership with Charlton Athletic in June 2003 when he agreed a four-year deal.
His Addicks contract was extended to June 2009 in May 2008.
