Shirt worn by Stanley Matthews in a famous FA Cup Final match that became known as 'The Matthews Final'.

At the age of 38 Blackpool and England hero Stanley Matthews was still waiting for his first major medal.

With 35 minutes left of the 1953 FA Cup Final and losing 3-1 to Bolton, an inspirational half hour saw him create three goals to help Blackpool lift the trophy. Super-fit Stan drank alcohol for the first and only time from the FA Cup that day.
