Encyclopedia
Matthew Simon "Matty" Taylor (born 27 November 1981 in Oxford
) is an English footballer who plays for West Ham United
. He is noted for his powerful long-range strikes.
, near Oxford
, and was a keen schools and boys football player, winning the Vale of the White Horse Schools Cup in 1995 at under-13 level, and reaching the final of the Oxfordshire County Schools Cup in the same year, with John Mason School
and he also played for his primary school, Rush Common School. He played for Quarry, based in Headington, who were managed by his father. They participated in the Oxford Boys League, which they won on several occasions apart from the 1993–94 season, when they were pipped to the title by arch-rivals, Witney Vikings.
, making his debut at the beginning of the 1999–2000 season. He soon made the left wing-back slot his own and won the Young Player of the Year award in his first ever season as a professional. His success at Luton came after an initial trial at his local side, Oxford United
.
side Portsmouth
for £750,000. The fee was set averting the need for a tribunal, causing Luton manager Joe Kinnear
to lament: "at least Dick Turpin
had the decency to wear a mask".
Usually playing as a left wing-back in a 3–5–2 formation, his speedy breaks down the left flank in support of the attack were a feature of Portsmouth's play as they won the First Division
title in May 2003. As well as being a regular in the team during the season, he also scored seven goals in the League.
An injury picked up in the later stages of the previous season meant that Taylor was unavailable for the start of Portsmouth's first Premiership season. After returning to fitness, Taylor struggled to win his place in the side back due to the side's good early season form and Harry Redknapp
's switch to the 4–4–2 formation. Taylor eventually won a place in the Pompey team at left back, where he was a regular in the second half of the 2003–04 season and appeared to be regaining form. Despite failing to score a league goal in his Premiership debut season, Taylor did hit the equaliser in an FA Cup
tie at Anfield
on 15 February 2004, when he ran the length of the pitch to celebrate with the supporters after a forceful right-footed finish at the Kop End.
Taylor's first Premiership goal came against Middlesbrough on 1 February 2005. The summer signing of David Unsworth
from Everton
meant Taylor only became a regular in the side in the second half of the season.
New manager Alain Perrin utilised Taylor as a left midfielder
during the 2005–06 season. On 29 October 2005, he scored from 40 yards at Sunderland's
Stadium of Light
, winning the BBC Goal of the Month
. Spotting the goalkeeper Kelvin Davis
off his line, Taylor hit a dipping left-footed half-volley over Davis' head and into the back of the net. Portsmouth had been trailing Sunderland 1–0 in the crucial "six pointer" but Taylor inspired a second half comeback with two goals and two assists
in a 4–1 victory. When Harry Redknapp returned, Taylor initially retained his attacking role but the arrival of Andrés D'Alessandro
on loan and Redknapp's disapproval of Perrin's left-back, Grégory Vignal
, meant that Taylor returned to full-back for the latter stages of the season. 2005–06 could be considered Taylor's breakthrough season as a Premiership footballer. In all he played 34 league games, scoring six goals. Two of these were crucial penalties; one in the last minute against Sunderland
to secure a 2–1 win, and another in an away game at Wigan Athletic
on 29 April 2006 to clinch another 2–1 win and survival from relegation.
His good form for Portsmouth brought interest from Tottenham Hotspur
and Fulham
, but he signed a long term contract with Portsmouth in July 2006. In the 2006–07 season, Taylor was a regular in the Portsmouth side on the left of midfield. Despite the team's good form, it took until early December for him to score his first league goal, in a game against Aston Villa
. He then added a second from the penalty spot in the same match before going on to score spectacular volleys in the next two games against Everton and Arsenal
.
His first-half goal against Manchester United
at Fratton Park in April 2007 sent Portsmouth on their way to a 2–1 victory over the Premier League champions. His final goal for Portsmouth was a penalty kick in August 2007, in a 3–1 win over Bolton Wanderers, the club he moved to five months later.
in the first half of the 2007–08 season, Taylor moved to Bolton Wanderers
on Thursday 17 January 2008 for an undisclosed fee, after rejecting an offer from Sunderland
. On 29 March 2008 Taylor scored his first goals for Bolton with a brace in the 3–2 home defeat to Arsenal
. On 11 May 2008 Taylor scored his first away goal for Bolton with a last minute equaliser, gaining Bolton a 1–1 draw against Chelsea
on the last day of the 2007–08 Premier League season
. In July 2008, having previously worn number 32, Taylor was given the number 7 shirt previously worn by Stelios Giannakopoulos
. Taylor scored the 50th goal of his career in a 3–1 win at West Ham United
on 5 October 2008 and reached double figures in the league for the first time when scoring against Chelsea
on 11 April 2009. In July 2009 he signed a new long term contract at Bolton Wanderers
. In the 2009–10 season, after the Blackburn Rovers
game blood tests showed that Taylor had developed glandular fever.
for an undisclosed fee. He made his competitive debut on 7 August 2011 in 1–0 home defeat to Cardiff City
and scored his first goal in West Ham's 4-3 win over his former club, Portsmouth, on 10 September.
