THE STANLEY MATTHEWS STORY
HOW PROUD OLD JACK MATTHEWS WOULD HAVE BEEN OF HIS SON
By TREVOR HILTON
That Stan would grow up into a first class. athlete was a foregone conclusion from the moment of his birth in Hanley. His father, Jack Matthews, was the renowned fighting barber of Hanley, a favourite at the old National Sporting Club whose members, last year, gave Stanley a colebration banquet and presentation to mark his twenty-five years in football.
A
that fabulous mile race at the White Cily the other Friday evening, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot the following afternoon disappointed the hopes of both promoters and the public (writes Peter Scott).
The last-minule withdrawal of Crepello was a stunning decision that In view of the assurances only "boggy" conditions-the Ascot going was merely a little soft-would cause his absence.
It to be hoped that a much tougher line will be taken with Crepulio after the Si Luger.

What a glittering night that was, and how proud old Jack would have been of his son. Featherweight Jack lost only nine of his 350-plus fights and included such names as Tancy Lee and Jimmy Wilde among his victims. But even his greatest moment would not have compared with the pride he would have felt at being present when his son was the guest of honour of the NSC.
