Our guest this week is former Club captain Matt Corker.  Matt is 10th on the all time appearance list, but first on the all time league appearances for the club in his 9 year association with London Welsh.  Matt's rugby prowess came to light only when he went to University in Bath to study Chemistry and went on to play for English Universities; which is where he got noticed by Wasps. Wasps signed him after he graduated, but he found the path to the first team very challenging with many internationals and Lions in their squad, despite him wining young player of the year during his first year with them.  Matt was loaned out to Blackheath to further his rugby education and then came on loan to London Welsh where he made a lasting impression and signed for the club.  His playing consistency during his time with the London Welsh is remarkable and he only had a period out of the game during one season for quite a unique health problem.  Unfortunately for Matt; he didn't get the Testimonial he deserved at the club and signed for Richmond to help them ease their way into the Championship and this started his coaching journey; where he is now Coaching Canterbury RFC in National 2.
