Matthew Spring

Matthew John Spring Date of Birth: Nov 17, 1979

Matthew joined Luton as a schoolboy and starred for the Hatters in their epic run to the F.A.Youth cup semi-finals in 1997.

It was not long before the talented midfielder made his League debut, coming on as a substitute in a 0-3 defeat at Bristol City in the same year whilst still only seventeen, and he soon earned a regular place in the side clocking up his 100th first team appearance while still barely twenty.

Matthew was tempted away from Kenilworth Road in 2004 but his twelve months at Leeds were ruined by injury although a subsequent move to Watford saw him help the Hornets into the Premiership.

Going full circle, Matthew rejoined Luton in January 2007, before turning out for Charlton, Leyton Orient and Wycombe and then dropping down the divisions and still playing into his forties.
