Matt Wilkes on Premier League World

If you are able to then catch up with Premier League World on Sky Sports. There is an interview with SG1 Assistant Matt Wilkes talking about battling cancer and his struggles with mental health.  Very powerful watch

What a brilliant short film. Only 8 minutes or so but so powerful. Can’t imagine what he has been through and to get to where is is now is somewhat fantastic. True friendship as well

I also came across the Jarred Gillett film on the PGMOL YouTube channel.

An interesting look into his journey over here and his first PL game, Watford v Newcastle.

Powerful stuff this. Extraordinary of Matt to bare his soul in order to help others by telling his story.

Wishing him every success and good health moving on....

Downloaded and watched this on Sky last night. Very moving. I empathise and sympathise with him and know exactly how he feels as I was a fellow Lymphoma sufferer in 2015/16, although I had the Non-Hodgkin version. I'm pleased that he's been able to continue with his officiating and wish him well for the future.

Hajrá Lilák. Csak a Kispest. Hajrá Magyarok! Hajrá játékvezetői csapat! Soha ne add fel. Nincs sárga kérem!!! No Chris Kavanagh doesn't live in Ashton or even in the Greater Manchester area!!

Very inspirational.

Must have been hard to talk publicly about what has happened, also nice to see how important the work relationships were to him.
