Personal comment: "Matty Aikin as Trigger like to call him, has wowed team members for his sophisticated look on the 1st team night out and even got mentioned in the same bracket as Dick van Dyke, but don’t let this cool persona fool you, he is Newcastle born and bred and you wouldn’t want him coming round to clean your chimneys any time soon."
Manager comment 2009-10: “ Very hardworking utility player who can play in a number of positions. Still only young and also has great potential. Never lets the team down and always puts a shift in.”
