Manchester graduate keeps Oldham on the Road to Wembley

With his team, Oldham Athletic, trailing 2-1 Smith came off the bench to turn the game back in Oldham's favour. In stoppage time he towered above the Everton defence to head home a crucial equaliser and secure a money-spinning replay at Goodison Park. Matt, 23, the former captain of The University of Manchester football team, said: "I really felt that when I came on we could nick it. The last three weeks have been indescribable, absolutely mental. To come from absolute obscurity in a football sense to having your name in the headlines is pretty overwhelming. The reception I have had from fans, from people around the club and also my close friends and family means a lot. I am happy I've made them proud.
