Summary:England's most famous soccer player, Sir Stanley Matthews, was still playing football at the age of 59 - coaching black players in the arts of the game he graced. His most famous game was the 1953 Cup Final at Wembley when, almost single-handed, he brought Blackpool from 1-3 down to win 4-3 against Bolton. In 1965, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth.
