Footballing career
Jarvis was signed by manager Syd King for West Ham and made his debut in April 1904 against New Brompton.[1] Little is known of his match-by-match career but he gained attention and press coverage for his foul on Alf Dean of local rivals, Millwall. In a game on 13 October 1906, played at Millwall's North Greenwich ground,[2] Jarvis smashed Dean against a metal advertising hoarding such that Dean was unable to continue playing. His action was investigated by the Football Association and he was banned from playing for fourteen days. [3] After 140 games for West Ham and five goals he moved to Bury in 1909.
