Matt Jones OBE

[Exiled Shrimper]

Found out recently whilst chatting to another supporter that former Blues youngster Matt Jones, who made 5 league appearances for the club between 1988 and 1990, was awarded an OBE for services to education in 2020.

He’s currently Executive Principal at the Ark Globe Academy in Southwark, so has progressed massively since teaching me at King Edmund in the 1990s whilst playing non-league football in the area!

Yes, he was at the Roy McDonough night and they talked about it then (although not teaching you)

He’s also on the deputy chair of the board of trustees of the Globe Theatre.

A seriously impressive CV.

Used to play against mid-nineties in the Wednesday League—nice guy—very left-footed.
