How did he become this iconic figure? Here at MattHampson.co.uk is the full story of how Matt has achieved and got to where he is today.

Only just under two years ago, he was an emerging talent in the world of rugby, recognized by the respected as having the capability to go all the way. Matt Hampson had grown up in Rutland and was a typical boy - always dirty, always getting into trouble, always way too much energy for his own good. His Mother Anne and Father Phil were always there to support him, to help him on his way and always full of encouragement.

Then came the moment that changed his life. "He (Matt Hampson) remembers the call and he remembers the shove and he remembers the scrum collapsing, just as it had many times before. He remembers going down and his feet being lifted off the ground and feeling suddenly unable to breathe as his friends piled on top of him." (The Times March 12th 2006). Matt suffered a dislocation in his neck which had trapped his spinal cord. It has left him paralysed from the neck down and more determined than ever from the neck up. It is Matt's spirit and bravery that has earned him such recognition and has pulled together the rugby world who want to take care of one of their own..........
