Now in the twilight of his career and playing as well as at any time previously, Matthews will be making his second attempt to win an FA Cup medal, one of the few honours in the game still denied him.

a member of the Blackpool team which Three years ago Matthews was reached the FA Cup Final for the first time ever. Thousands of soccer fans all over the country would have rejoiced with Stanley if he had been on the winning side, such is the measure of his popularity.
