Links Sir Stanley Matthews Sir Stanley Matthews (1915-2000) was widely acclaimed as one of England's greatest soccer players ever, but he never earned more than £50 a week plus a bonus of £25 per game. England team-mate Tom Finney said after he heard the news of Matthews' death: "I have so many memories of Stan and he was the greatest in my era in terms of close control. He was a humble man and he never got carried away by how well he played." In 1953 Matthews had his finest hour during the Cup Final. At that time Stanley played with Blackpool against Bolton Wanderers. Blackpool stood twenty minutes away from defeat with 3-1. His dazzling footwork carved out a hat-trick for Mortensen and with only twenty seconds to go, Matthews went on to set up the winning goal for Bill Perry. This game will always be remembered as "The Matthews Final". The two-times European footballer of the year was capped 54 times for England and made more than 700 Football League appearances for Stoke City and Blackpool. He played his last game in 1965 at the record-breaking age of 50 years and was knighted the same year. Matthews was the first knighted football player ever.

AudioVideo Wednesday, 23 February, 2000, 19:50 GMT The first gentleman of soccer Sir Stanley played his last match aged 50 Sir Stanley Matthews - the first professional footballer to be knighted - was the most renowned player of modern times. His professional career covered 34 years; when he retired in 1965 -aged 50 - he had made nearly 700 League appearances for Stoke City and Blackpool and played for England 56 times. As an outside-right he was without compare. A thin, frail-looking man, he had a marvellous sense of balance and timing; his sudden bursts of speed over 20 yards or so was one of the wonders of the game, and earned him the nickname "the wizard of dribble". His passing was extraordinarily accurate, and he was not so much a scorer as a creator of goals for others. Moreover, his sportsmanship was exemplary, and he was often referred to as "the first gentleman of soccer". It was said Matthews' presence in a team could add 10,000 to away gates. Stanley Matthews: "Wizard of dribble" The son of a professional feather-weight boxer, Stanley Matthews was born near Stoke-on-Trent, in the Potteries, and joined Stoke City straight from school at the age of fourteen.
