Sir Stan was a bit more than that. First European footballer of the Year, Balon D'Or as is now, in the mid fifties with the likes of Di Stefano trailing in his wake. A Knight of the Realm for his services to football here and all over the world, particularly impoverished countries. A British legend for many reasons.

But your brother was right about his trickery. Unstoppable, uncatchable, thus pristine unsullied white shorts. Always :D
I've not seen a poll of experts/historians about who the greatest British footballer was between 1900-1950, but i'd be very surprised if Matthews wasn't the clear winner. He was definitely the stand-out global star from these shores, until eclipsed by Bobby Charlton (mainly due to TV and the world cup).
