Matthew Thomas Brimson (born 1 December 1970) is a former English cricketer. Brimson,a slow left arm orthodox bowler,played first-class cricket for Leicestershire.
Born in Plumstead,Brimson was educated at Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School.

He was accused of indecent exposure for a prank in a team photograph that appeared in the 2000 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack . The photo escaped the attention of editors,and Brimson avoided any punishment as he had already retired from cricket and gone into teaching by the time the incident came to light. [4]
