斯坦利·马修斯爵士２０００年去世时，球王贝利曾称赞他是“教会我们该如何踢球的人”。贝利决不是唯一一位对马修斯充满敬意的人。尽管贝利被普遍认为是足球运动中的第一偶像，但这一荣誉似乎应该属于马修斯。
１９１５年２月１日，马修斯出生于英格兰的斯托克城。１４岁进入斯托克青年队，１６岁就登上了甲级联赛的舞台。
１９３２年３月，他首次代表斯托克队参赛。而３３年后，他是在布莱克浦队结束自己球员生涯的。他所获得的唯一一项冠军是１９５３年的足总杯。由于英格兰俱乐部是从１９５６年才开始参加欧洲赛事的，而且斯托克队又从未获得过参赛资格，因此马修斯也从未参加过欧洲赛事。他还拥有一项骄人的纪录，就是从未被出示过黄牌和红牌。
马修斯的英格兰国脚生涯从１９３３年延续到１９５７年。在这段时间中，他共代表国家队参赛５２场，进球１１个。由于那时足球赛事较少，加之政治因素的影响，他在国际赛场上表现的机会并不算多。由于英格兰队退出国际足联，他无缘参加１９３４年和１９３８年的两届世界杯赛。随后，第二次世界大战又耽误了他６年的运动青春，使得他只能在１９５０年和１９５４世界杯上展示自己。可惜时运不济，在１９５０世界杯上，英格兰队过早出局。而在１９５４世界杯上，英格兰队又在四分之一决赛中被乌拉圭队淘汰。马修斯在世界杯赛中总共只踢了三场。
他的绰号“盘带之王”就是对他最精炼的概括。他是一流的进攻型右前卫，奔跑速度和身体柔韧性令人不可思议。他传球犀利，常常对对方的后卫形成直接威胁。看过他踢球的人无论比赛结果如何，都没有人会忘记他的球技，同时也都会用各种语言传颂着他的技艺。
１９６５年英女王伊丽莎白册封他为爵士。他不喜欢听恭维话，１９５６年当选为第一届欧洲足球先生后，他说："我这一生都是糊里糊涂的……不过，你们都知道，５０年代还没有这么多广告，我只记得有一位讨人喜欢的老先生专程从巴黎来到布莱克本，把"金球奖"给了我。"面对荣誉他处之泰然。
马修斯留给后人的足球财富是盘球技术。作为一代盘球大师，他在场上经常遇到对方的侵犯，他报复的方式是提高盘球技术，用更高的球技带球过人，躲过对方的抢铲。每次比赛他都是场上的核心。
１９５３年英格兰足总杯赛的冠军争夺战是马修斯的杰作之一。当时博尔顿队气势如虹，先以３：１领先，根本不把老将马修斯放在眼里。但马修斯以炉火纯青的盘带和传球技术把对方后卫晃得头晕眼花，不知所措。他不慌不忙地穿针引线，组织全队频频发动进攻，最后以４∶３反败为胜，成了百年绝唱。这也是他一生中夺得的惟一一个金杯。
马修斯一生共参加了１０００多场比赛，进球１０００多个。
１９６５年４月马修斯结束了自己的足球生涯，开始周游世界，每到一国他都会言传身教，传授足球知识。１９９０年，马修斯结束周游世界之旅回到了他的故乡，并在斯托克附近的家中庆祝了自己的７５岁生日。当地人民为他建造了一座雕像。但他从来没去看过，他对人民的热情感到不安。
２０００年２月２４日，马修斯走完了自己精彩的一生，在斯托克城的家中安详地离开了人世。伊丽莎白女王当天就给他的家人发去了唁电，表示哀悼。首相布莱尔说："斯坦利爵士过去是，而且永远是有史以来最伟大的体育人物之一。" 1915年2月1日，马修斯出生于
英格兰工业城市曼彻斯特和伯明翰之间的斯托克城。他的父亲是一位职业拳击手，母亲非常贤惠。父母教给马修斯的做人原则是遵纪守法、克制谨慎、勇于进取。他没有继承父亲的事业，反而对足球情有独钟。他14岁进入斯托克青年队，16岁就登上了甲级联赛的舞台。

马修斯参加了1000多场比赛，进球1000多个。
马修斯有"球场上的卓别林"之称。他在场上经常上演滑稽动作，没人防守的时候他也容易摔倒，惹来一阵笑声，"球场上的卓别林"的雅号由此而来。他善于声东击西，利用娴熟的球技和假动作诱使对方上当，迫使对方暴露意图而自己却不露声色。
他特有风度，虽然经常被对方侵犯，但从不还击，甚至不露怒气。1965年女王伊丽莎白册封他为爵士。他不喜欢听恭维话，1956年当选为第一届欧洲足球先生后，他说："我这一生都是糊里糊涂的……不过，你们都知道，50年代还没有这么多广告，我只记得有一位讨人喜欢的老先生专程从巴黎来到布莱克本，把'金球奖'给了我。"面对荣誉他处之泰然。
马修斯留给后人的足球财富是盘球技术。作为一代盘球大师，他在场上经常遇到对方的侵犯，他报复的方式是提高盘球技术，用更高的球技带球过人，躲过对方的抢铲。球一到他的脚下，他会迅速成为一名"挑衅者"，在对方后卫迎击前盘带过人。他直奔对方后卫时，对手总是后退或回避，好像被他推得远远的。如果对手伸右腿拦截，他会向外侧带球突破；如果对手伸左腿拦截，他会从内侧突破。当对方不管三七二十一向他直奔时，他会迅速将球传给队友，让对方扑个空。
马修斯从不吃独食，他顾全大局，教练放心，队友也放心。每次比赛他都是场上的核心。1953年英格兰足总杯赛的冠军争夺战是马修斯的杰作之一。当时博尔顿队气势如虹，先以3∶1领先，根本不把老将马修斯放在眼里。但马修斯以炉火纯青的盘带和传球技术把对方后卫晃得头晕眼花，不知所措。他不慌不忙地穿针引线，组织全队频频发动进攻，最后以4∶3反败为胜，成了百年绝唱。这也是他一生中夺得的惟一一个金杯。
1965年4月马修斯结束了自己的足球生涯，开始周游世界，每到一国他都会言传身教，传授足球知识。他花了25年的时间遍游马耳他、巴西、加纳、津巴布韦、南非、美国、加拿大等国家和地区，足迹遍及五大洲。他所到之处总是用最浅显易懂的语言讲解足球理论，从不故弄玄虚。不管在足球发达的国家还是落后的国家，他都不顾年迈亲自示范。非洲人曾这样评价马修斯："对我们非洲人，他怀有母亲对孩子般的真挚母爱--广阔无边、无比深沉。"他和黑人的感情之深令人难以置信。南非索韦托黑人居住区的居民亲切地称他为"白脸黑人"。
1990年，马修斯结束周游世界之旅回到了他的故乡，并在斯托克附近的家中庆祝了自己的75岁生日。当地人民为他建造了一座雕像。但他从来没去看过，他对人民的热情感到不安。
2000年2月24日，马修斯走完了自己精彩的一生，在斯托克城的家中安详地离开了人世。伊丽莎白女王当天就给他的家人发去了唁电，表示哀悼。首相布莱尔说："斯坦利爵士过去是，而且永远是有史以来最伟大的体育人物之一。"
前往悼唁的有足球界人士、球迷、官员，还有海外的知己。
在他去世的那个周末，英格兰足球联赛委员会规定所有比赛开赛前都要为马修斯爵士默哀一分钟。
一个世纪性的足球传奇人物就这样轻轻地来，悄悄地走了。 41岁时当选“欧洲足球先生”，48岁时被评为“英格兰年度最佳球员”，以50岁又3个月的高龄退役竟然还让整个英国都“十分惋惜”——这样的人有且只有一个，他就是斯坦利·马修斯。
这是一位能够把球盘出“喜剧色彩”的右边锋，只要他在场上，就会出现一种反常现象：后卫不是迎着对方的前锋冲去，而是前锋向后卫冲去，瞬间，后卫便成了被攻击的对象，不得不起来自卫……在他的花招戏耍之下，后卫们似乎总是想避开他而向相反一端跑去，而马修斯在前进道路上无人阻挡。正是由于他在右边锋位置上出神入化的技术，一招以其名字命名的假动作过人不仅在那个年代无坚不摧，在今天的各种足球教材中也长期占据“假动作排行榜”的首位。
不过，在老式足球的制约下，斯坦利·马修斯当了一辈子配角，甚至“一生只夺一冠”。当然，那“一生惟一一冠”(1952/1953赛季足总杯冠军)还是他的个人表演，在那场被称为“马修斯决战”的决赛中，布莱克本队1∶3落后于博尔顿队，在时间紧迫的情形下，马修斯的三次突破助攻队友攻入三球反败为胜。 STANLEY MATTHEWS

Stanley Matthews was born in Hanley, Staffordshire on February 1 1915 and went on to be one of the greatest players Britain has ever produced. At the age of 15 he joined the ground staff of his local club Stoke City and made his first team debut two years later in a 1-0 win away at Bury. In the 1932-3 season Stoke won second division gaining the young Matthews his first chance at England’s highest domestic level.
On the 29th of September Matthews made his first appearance for England in a 4-0 win away in Cardiff against Wales. Matthews and Stoke enjoyed a couple of seasons floating around in mid-table before finishing 4th in 1935-6. The next season though Matthews requested a transfer away from Stoke, but such was the unhappiness of many fans and local businesses that the board were forced to resolve the situation and Matthews stayed put. During the war Matthews served with the RAF, but like most top footballers was kept out of the real danger and continued to play football, including 30 games for England which have not been recognised as full internationals. This was a cruel blow for Matthews as he missed 6 crucial year of football, the years at which most footballers are considered to peak.
When the league re-started in 1946-7 Matthews again wanted to move away from Stoke due to constant friction between himself and manager Bob McGrory who many viewed as being jealous of Matthews’ abundant talents. Matthews was this time allowed to join Blackpool for 11,000 and without him Stoke closely missed out on the title, with him they might well have been victorious.
In 1948 Matthews appeared in his first FA Cup final for Blackpool. The game was against Manchester United and while Blackpool led 2-1 with just 20 minutes to play they couldn’t hold on and were easily beaten 4-2. Matthews efforts though were not missed and he was named the first ever footballer of the year in England for the 1947-8 season.
In 1950 England set off to Brazil for their first ever World Cup. England had not accepted the previous invitations to participate and the team set out with the pride and hoped of an expectant nation resting on their shoulders. The team was stellar boasting such talents as Wright, Finney, Mannion and Mortensen in addition to Matthews. They started well and beat Chile 2-0 in the opening encounter before losing 1-0 to the USA in one of the most shocking games in the history of the World Cup. Although Matthews missed the first two games, he returned for the clash with Spain. It was to make no difference as Spain emerged the 1-0 victors thanks to a goal by Zarra. It was a bitter disappointment to England. While they had not participated in the previous World Cups most at home still considered them the best side in the world and had expected a great deal more than a first round exit.
In 1951 Blackpool again reached the FA Cup final, but again they were disappointed. This time they lost 2-0 to Newcastle.
However, in 1953 Matthews was to finally get the silverware he craved, Blackpool again reached the FA Cup final and this time faced Bolton. Bolton trailed 3-1 going in to the closing stages of the game, before Matthews hit his stride. Matthews laid on two goals for Stan Mortensen before another mazy dribble created a great chance for Bill Perry to score a dramatic last minute winner. Mortensen had scored a hat-trick but there was no doubt who the star of the show was- Matthews. It was his finest hour and it came to be known as “The Matthews Final”. He was the ripe old age of 38.
In November of the same year English football was rocked to it’s very foundations by a game that has since been viewed as the match of the century and the game which marked a major power shift away from Britain. It was of course England v. Hungary at Wembley. Matthews played in the game but, as with all the England players, was overshadowed by the Magical Magyars who won the game 6-3.
The next year Matthews and England travelled to Switzerland to attempt to improve on their performance at the last World Cup. Matthews played in the opener, a 4-4 draw with Belgium, but missed the draw with the Swiss. In the quarter finals England were drawn to play the defending champions Uruguay who had not lost a game in the history of the World Cup finals. It was a tough game in which Uruguay emerged as winners 4-2 and Matthews World Cup ambitions were over again.
In 1955 Matthews played in a game against Scotland considered by some to be his finest. At Wembley, England thrashed the auld enemy 7-2 and Matthews made all 7 goals.
The following year, England faced Brazil at Wembley and beat them 4-2, Matthews made 3 goals and tortured the Brazilian fullback Nilton Santos. They then travelled to Berlin to face the World Champions Germany and beat them convincingly 3-1. In 1956 Matthews also received the great honour of being the inaugural European Player of the Year. The next year Matthews played his last ever game for England a 4-1 victory away at Denmark, it had been a glittering international career.
In 1961 Matthews returned to Stoke in a deal worth 3,500. The impact was immediate as in Matthews’ first game gates sprang from 8,000 to 35,000 and Matthews went on to more than earn the club back the money they had spent on him. Matthews return to Stoke coincided with the visit of Huddersfield and offered Matthews the chance to face up against England full-back Ray Wilson. As he had done to so many defenders before, Matthews made Wilson’s life a misery and made all the goals in a 3-0 victory.
In the 1962-3 season Stoke won the second division, a remarkable 30 years after Matthews had first achieved the feat at the club. At the age of 48 Matthews managed to play in 35 of Stoke’s league games, and scored a crucial goal in the last game of the season to secure promotion to the top flight. Matthews was named footballer of the year for a second time, a feat that only Tom Finney and Danny Blanchflower had achieved before him.
In 1965 Matthews played his last ever league game for Stoke at the age of 50, he was the oldest man ever to play in the first division and his record stands to this day. In April 1965 Stoke faced an international XI including Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas, Josef Masopust and Lev Yashin in honour of Matthews. Later that year Matthews became the first ever footballer to be knighted by the Queen, it was no more than he deserved.
Matthews died on the 23rd February 2000.
Stanley Matthews stands amongst the game’s greatest ever figures both for his brilliance and his longevity. Only a man of true drive and determination could manage to stay at the top of the game for over 30 years and his dedication illustrates a real love for the game. His genius made him one of the best loved and most admired men ever to play the game, and his dazzling wingplay inspired generations of top footballers.
