Isn't the goalkeeper mentioned also one of our ex players??

I'm sure I recognise the name Drench

yes just had a look on the players profile

Former England Schoolboys international goalkeeper Stephen Drench began his career with Blackburn Rovers, joining then-Conference National side Morecambe on loan during the 2005/06 season, before signing permanently for the Christie Park outfit during the summer of 2006.

I know he's been out of the game a while, but I reckon that Matty will be immense at that level. Even if he has retained only a fraction of his former brilliance it'll be far too much for that level.

Interesting to see Flitty in management, I thought he would be far too hot-headed. (Although I guess the same could be said for Souness who was a reasonably successful manager.) Looks like Leigh mean business with the type of set up they're talking about.

Leigh Genesis are playing at Clitheroe Tuesday 7:45 KO. Matty has started the last three games for Leigh so hopfully he'll be in the starting line-up.

I think that I might nip down to Shawbridge tonight and give Mat and Flitty a cheer.

Quite enjoyable on occasions watching footy at this level.

I went to watch the game on Tuesday at Clitheroe. What a great advert for non league football, Clitheroe were excellent but ended up losing to two dubious late penalties in the dying minutes. Matty played the full 90 minutes and had a good game and showed some nice touches but seems to have lost a bit of pace.

If anyone is short of a game to watch when Rovers aren’t playing I would highly recommend a visit to Shawbridge.

There was a program a week or so ago over here in Thailand, it's on in between games every week, you know the stuff, ex Premiere league players, what are the doing now.

It was a 15 minute slot on Flitty at leigh and of course Matty.

Wonder if they will appear in the corridors of Ewood in the future.

He says he's moved on but I'm not sure he has.

It's 8 years ago now and, unlike many people who suffer illness or accident, he still has all his faculties and presumably a good wedge in the bank, so my sympathy ran out some time ago.

Time he changed the record methinks

When you have the potential to be England's next star, and the same ability Matt had/has, to lose that all and have a life threatening accident is a tough pill to swallow. Matt was great for Rovers and he deserves all the credit, many people could have given up at the 1st hurdle, but he didn't he carried on and tried his best to resurrect his career, but failed.

He'll always be a legend in my eyes and same with majority of the Rovers fans. Time you showed the lad some respect for what he's been through.

Same but for me the sad thing is it was all so avoidable, hiring a moped in a foreign city is never a good idea in my book.

He made a silly mistake and it came back to bite him big time luckily he got away wth his life.

Still he'll always be a legend in my eyes, one hell of an entertainer as well
