Matthew James Lawrence (born 19 June 1974) is an English former footballer who played as a centre back.
He spent 20 months at the west London side, making over 60 appearances, before going back to Wycombe on a free transfer following Fulham's failure to gain promotion to Division One.
Nigel Spackman was appointed manager at the New Den, but Lawrence did not play competitively under him, as he moved to rivals Crystal Palace to rekindle his partnership with Darren Ward.
This appeared every Monday for five weeks, a popular piece which led to him being given a regular column in the matchday programme over the season.
Lawrence joined the Sporting Kansas City broadcast team as a color commentator ahead of the 2017 Major League Soccer season.
