Stanley Matthews Born: Feb. 1, 1915 Hanley, England Died: Feb. 23, 2000 Stoke-on-Trent, England Sir Stanley Matthews is generally regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. He made his debut for Stoke City in 1932 at the age of 17 and after 710 appearances for Stoke, Blackpool, and 54 for England, he retired in 1965 at the age of 50. Although he was 45 when he re-joined Stoke City in October 1961, home attendances jumped from 9,000 to 35,000. He was known as "The wizard of the dribble" and in 1965 became the first footballer to be honoured with a knighthood (although he was more proud of the fact that during his 33 year career he was never cautioned by a referee). His ashes are buried somewhere beneath the pitch of the Britannia Stadium, the home ground of Stoke City Football Club. Did you know he was the first person chosen to appear on the TV program “This is your life” in 1955.
