Spelling of his first name

I'm absolutely sure it's Mathew - ie, a single t. Can anyone verify this? The Mayor 18:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to

The Football League (2006-07 appearances)

Premier League (Actim stats, he's in there if you look hard enough)

Birmingham City player profile and squad list

Northampton Town 2003-04 team lineups

and various other Birmingham City print sources such as match programmes going back to when he was still in the Academy, the 2006 Official Guide (ISBN 978-1-903073-59-6 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum), and the 2008 Official Annual (ISBN 978-1-905426-79-9), it is indeed spelt with one 't'.

However, some generally reputable sources, including (i think) the Barry Hugman PFA book, spell it with two.

I'd always believed it was written with one 't', because if he's been with BCFC since he was 9, they at least ought to know how to spell his name right.

Though perhaps the article should be moved to Mat Sadler, on the basis that's what he's generally known as these days (see BCFC sources mentioned above, Blues magazine cover, his agents' website, the BBC, etc). What do you reckon? Struway2 13:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say Mat Sadler would be the right place to put it, and then put in the article the full spelling. 62.30.122.5 (talk) 16:12, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
