Matthew Judge

Barking born Matthew came to the Hatters from school with his early performances for the youth team, where he scored goals for fun, giving rise to great expectations for the future.

A natural goalscorer, Matthew was used sparingly, appearing in the LDV Vans Trophy and as substitute in the F.A.Cup clash at Wigan in December 2002 before making his League debut coming on as substitute during a 5-0 win at Colchester in April 2003.

Despite a cracking last minute winner at Stevenage in the following season’s LDV competition Matthew, by now an Eire youth international, made only one further substitute appearance before being surprisingly released in 2004.

After spells with Dagenham and Sligo, Matthew would down his playing career at Dunstable Town.
