Presentation to Stanley Matthews, in celebration of his footballing silver Jubilee.
Few names have made headlines in the world of sport for as long as Stanley Matthews. Twenty-five years ago, as a boy of seventeen, he played in his first League match for Stoke City, and three years later received his first cap for England. Since then every honour that Football has to offer has been bestowed upon him, though it was not until 1953 that he won a Cup Winners' Medal, in a game that will live long in the memory. Stoke, Blackpool, and England may owe a great deal to his wizardry on the field, but tonight it is the whole world of sport that is honouring him as one of the truly great sportsmen of all time. at 9.30 and 10.45
