    This is heartbreaking btw, he should be playing a huge part.

    I wanted to take this opportunity to speak directly with the fans and to say simply thank you.

    “Bradford City is a massive club and has some of the most passionate fans that I have ever played for.

    “It is my local club, yet you could be anywhere in the world and they would pop up, keen to make their pride and loyalty known to you. I loved that.

    “My family came to every home game and at a time when my son was just becoming old enough to fall in love with a club.

    “I will always be grateful for the memories he now has, of his dad playing for his team. He is a die-hard Bantam.

    “Playing at Valley Parade will remain amongst some of the proudest memories in my career.

    “If it’s possible to leave a club on a high, then I think seven Player of the Year awards will do and the fans and the players gave me those.

    “A club will always be its fans and for that reason, Bantams I thank you and wish you only the very best. You deserve it.”

    Absolute Class as always mate - I was proud to be your Soonsor and the 7 player of the year awards were immense.

    Sort your putting out and we will have a game of golf soon.

    Top pro on and off the pitch, when someone like Stuart holds you in high regard you can't be bad.

    I wish him nothing but the best for the future, just a shame he's gone to a crap SPL team he could have done so much better.

    Thats how you leave a football club, with your reputation intact and your head held high. Nothing but a top pro is Killa.

    He's been immense for us and I have the highest respect for him as a player and as a man.

    He's now escaped the shit show that is our club and I'm pleased for him in that respect. The rest of us (including his lad) are stuck with it for the time being at least.

    Good luck Matt, you'd still be in my first 11.

    Sheer class from Killa. Unfortunately he is too professional to tell us what really happened.
    Chrisako can you make yourself a new, anonymous member login and post something you might have heard from a friend of a friend down the pub :)

    "Respect" is a two way thing.We showed ours to him by virtue of the awards he richly deserved and he has shown how grateful he is with a heartfelt letter to say thanks.

    There's a message to all our players that clearly shows, we expect you to do your very best for the shirt and the fans will reward you if you do.

    There are a lot of ex players who hold our great club in high regard and it's heart warming to know we support such a great club.

    I believe the current situation will be resolved, as nothing and nobody will undermine the special relationship the fans have with Bradford City!

    Thanks Matt,you have joined the list of players who will always be welcome at City. I watch a lot of Scottish football on BT so will look forward to any Accies games and hope you win!

    Just makes me even more gutted and bloody cross with the knobs running our club - Matt still had a lot to offer as a footballer and as a leader, as a passionate and experienced defender, and as a man with class. Shame on you ER and MC, or whoever is pulling the shots at asylum VP!

    heartbreaking!!


    an absolute disgrace he's no longer a Bantam


    he was not only still good enough to offer something as a back up - i'd have made him club captain this season and he'd be playing central defence every week.

    treating good pro's like this is an absolute travesty.


    Rahic Out.
