Matt King

When Matt was 16 he thought his dreams of becoming a professional rugby player were coming true when he was signed to play semi-professionally for the London Broncos. In the first 20 seconds of his first match his life changed forever when a tackle went wrong, and he was left paralyzed from the neck down.

These shoes were made for walking

Matt King OBE is a leading inspirational speaker, author, lawyer, adventurer and mentor. Matt was paralysed from the neck down in an accident whilst playing rugby at the age of 17. He has since become a mouth painting artist, learnt to ski, competed in marathons and published his autobiography, 04.04.04.

Matt shares with us his inspiring story of his journey from the rugby pitch to rehabilitation and recovery.
