WIFC Debut v Notts Forest – Jul 2002
Nickname – Chumpo

The enigmatic Ainsley netted three own goals during his early days with the club, and having finally started to rectify that with a ripper during the West London Cup in 2005, he finally got back into credit during the 2007/08 season. Still going strong as he hurtles through his 40’s, Matt has also managed to build a fairly solid reputation for arse-wittery over the years, which is mainly down to the fact that he can always be relied on to drink his body-weight in booze on every WIFC trip. Keep him away from sambuca and straws, and don’t take up his invites for a punching competition.

Matt’s Q and A

Describe yourself in a sentence

Alright! I am the Messiah! …. Now fuck off!

What was the first WFC game you went to and what can you remember about it?

FA Cup game v Harlow Town in 1980. I don’t remember much about it but found it on YouTube and apparently we won 4-3! Ahh, the magic of the cup!

Finest ever WFC memory

Being 3-0 down with 20 minutes to go against Bolton and coming back to win 4-3. Once in a lifetime!

Worst away trip and why

Funbus to Hull. Those that went know exactly why and won’t want any further reminders!
