STANLEY MATTHEWS TELLS YOU WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WAITING FOR A CUP FINAL

Stanley Matthews, who has represented England 63.4imes In international matches, has yet to win a Cup-winner's medal. When Blackpool lost this year's finn! to Newcastle United by two goals to nil at Wembley, it was Stanley's second miss in three years.

The metal was the one that Matthews wanted most of all to round out one of the most brilliant careers in English League football. Of the seven weeks before the final, he says, "The only thing I hated was the waiting."

Still On The Down-grade

Says DAVID JACK

General standard of Soccer refereeing, on the down-grade for some seasons, has certainly not improved in the campaign now ending.

With the knowledge that the man who never made a mistake never made any- thing, it's impossible to go on kicking all of them all of the time for bad decisions one sees during the normal League and Cup round.
