Stanley Matthews stands as an iconic figure in football history, his name synonymous with brilliance, longevity, and unwavering dedication to the beautiful game. His last years were marked by personal struggles while he fell ill.
Stanley Matthews was born on February 1, 1915, in Stoke-on-Trent, England, to Jack and Anne Matthews. Raised in a working-class family, young Stanley grew up in the industrial heartland of England, where football was not just a game but a way of life. From an early age, he displayed a natural affinity for the sport, honing his skills on the streets of Stoke-on-Trent and in local parks.

No mention of him being knighted. It should be Sir Stanley Matthews.

Bolton were down to 9 fit players for the last 25 minutes, years before subs were permitted. Had Bolton had 11 fit players that victory might never have happened.
