Description

Matt Jarvis has enjoyed a successful football career, beginning with Gillingham before playing for Wolves, West Ham and Norwich, and even representing England in 2011. In this next episode of Taboo on the Terraces, Ryan reflects on Matt's career with him, and discusses winning the Championship with Wolves, once being West Ham's record signing, and representing his country.

Towards the end of the 2015/16 season in a game against Manchester City, Matt went in to a tackle with Yaya Toure and suffered a medial cruciate ligament injury. Then came an ankle fracture and other issues, and all-in-all Matt spent three years out of action. As well as experiencing the pain of these serious injuries, Matt speaks openly about the mental pressure that being out for so long had on him, and how he was able to remain motivated through setbacks to get back playing football.
