Life history

His parents taught Matthews to abide by the law, be restrained and cautious, and be enterprising. Instead of inheriting his father's career, he is fond of football. He entered stoke youth at 14 and made it to the Serie A at 16.

Matthews is known as "Chaplin on the court". A burst of laughter on the court, he often fell, and "he didn't come easily.". He is good at attacking the West and the East, using skillful ball skills and fake moves to induce the other party to be deceived, forcing the other party to expose their intentions, but he does not reveal himself.
Matthews left behind the wealth of football is dribbling technology. As a generation of dribbling master, he often encountered the infringement of the other side on the field. His way of revenge is to improve the dribbling skills, use higher skills to pass the ball, and avoid the other side's grab shovel. As soon as the ball reaches his feet, he will quickly become a "defiant" and dribble before the opposing defender meets him. When he goes straight to the other side's back, the opponent always retreats or evades, as if pushed far away by him. If the opponent's right leg is extended to intercept, he will break through with the ball to the outside; if the opponent's left leg is extended to intercept, he will break through from the inside. When the other side regardless of three seven 21 straight to him, he will quickly pass the ball to his teammates, let the other side jump into the air.
On May 2, 1953, the FA Cup championship was one of Matthews' masterpieces. The venue is Wembley Stadium.

With England's withdrawal from FIFA, he was unable to compete in the two world cups in 1934 and 1938. Then, the Second World War delayed his six years of Sports Youth, so that he could only show himself in the 1950 and 1954 World Cup.

No matter in the football developed countries or backward countries, he did not care about his own demonstration. Africans once said of Matthews: "to us Africans, he has the sincere maternal love of a mother to a child - boundless and profound. "The depth of his relationship with black people is unbelievable. Residents of the black community in Soweto, South Africa, affectionately called him a "white faced black.".
