Mat is another player introduced to WIFC by Sterry and Mathers following the “Buy Back the Vic” match in 2003 and made his bow in that year’s Furry Cup. Since then, it’s been a non-stop barrage from the verbose Ball, who picked up the Managers Player of the Year award in 2005. Mat also played for the England IFA side against Scotland at Worldnet 2007, and is now the club’s second highest all-time appearance maker. A hugely successful four years as club treasurer also gave him the opportunity to use his verbal talents to the full, and he took on the role of manager in 2008, securing the club’s 5th consecutive top ten finish in the league and an IFA Cup Semi Final in his first season.
