Matt Jarvis fires in on goal for the Gills at Priestfield in 2006 against Swansea

Gillingham fans will have more reason than normal to tune in for England’s European Championship qualifier against Wales on Saturday.

The call-up of former Gills youngster Matt Jarvis to Fabio Capello’s England team has been a hot topic this week, and with Gillingham’s game at Cheltenham taking place on Sunday, there could be a bumper audience from Kent watching the game.

Not only could there be a full international debut for Jarvis but another Gills product, Andrew Crofts, will also be involved after winning a regular place back in the Wales set-up.

Both players may have to settle for a place on the bench but an appearance from either of those two will be warmly received in Kent.
