The 1953 FA Cup Final, also known as the Matthews Final, Was the eighth to be held at Wembley Stadium after the Second World War. The football match was contested between Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers, with Blackpool winning 4-3. The match became famous for the performance of Blackpool winger Stanley Matthews, after whom it was nicknamed. It remains the only Wembley FA Cup Final to feature a hat-trick, scored by Blackpool's Stan Mortensen. (Prior to the Wembley era, William Townley in 1890 and James Logan in 1894 achieved the same feat for Blackburn Rovers and Notts County respectively). Blackpool were making their third FA Cup appearance in six years having been losing finalists twice, in 1948 and 1951

  • BTW Bolton played a long time with a crippled player Bell they had to stick him out on the wing.Remember no subs in those days.Notice how hard they had to kick that heavy ball.Not like todays pussies who can just twist their ankle and the ball rolls 30 yards.

  • About the keeper,I played with a wet leather ball in my early football days.I,m 70 now.Believe me it was bloody heavy, as for the keeper back then I saw this game as a kid.The Blackpool keeper was George Farm and I seem to remember he was the Sottish national keeper.

  • Great upload! This isn't just any match, it's an important piece of football history. Really nice to see on Youtube.

  • tiki taki? my arse

  • Keepers must have been really useless in those days. Mind you the ball was leather and when it was wet, it would have been like handling concrete.

  • @IrudienLantegia I'm almost certain that you're correct that this was from the tele-recorded version of the match.

  • Matthews, Matthews, Matthews! Companion of my old dreams !

  • wow the keepers are really shit

  • That´s not a film, that´s tv record. Wonderfull!

  • i <3 Blackpool
