In January 1954 Matthews was at CR for Harry Proctor's Benefit Match

The programme listed him at #7 BUT Blackpool refused to let him play.

According to the brilliant 'NCFC The Archive' Matthews was lino for the first half, but spent much of the time signing autographs.

jumpers for goalposts etc etc
