Phew.. What A Year......... |

Not only was it Coronation year, but
also a great year for sport. At last Stanley Matthews gains his
only FA cup winners medal in a 4-3 win over Bolton. He played his
first full season in Stokes City's senior team in 1932-3 and his
final match at the age of 50 in 1965. A true sportsman.
