Matty (Episode 1544)

Matty was one of three lads collecting a "penny for the Guy" outside the Rovers Return for the forthcoming bonfire night in 1975. Ken Barlow, then a leading candidate for the position of Community Development Officer at the Community Centre across the road, approached the boys and asked if they ever used the centre, to which the dark-haired Matty replied that nobody did. Later that day, Ken was offered the job.
