NO absolutely not a good passer. Didn´t you look at this video??? He misses completely a number of times and other times just showing the ball in to the middle without any thoughts. This guy was great, but plse do not take it too far..
@@glegolo I saw Johnny play - he was a great passer. If you ever played in those days you'd know the ball was soaked and probably weighted 10 ibs, and the heavy boots with long studs clogged with mud almost weighed as much. And the pitch was a soggy farmers field. How those guys gutted it out for ten shillings a week is amazing.
@@glegolo Sorry, but Johnny Haynes was an excellent passer...He was often used to compare other players with the comment that, "So and so passes like Johnny Haynes..."
In modern football, the defenders are much more organised and push onto the opposition. You can't pass forward when a defender is in front of you, stopping you doing that.
@@johnmccadden9963 That is where the skillful players come into their own. CR, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe etc are willing to take players on and get past them. Then it's up to the rest of the team to work off the ball to find space. Constantly passing backwards or laterally is the mark of average teams and players or of negative coaches and tactics.
@@johnmccadden9963 Not of that quality I agree but we do have the likes of Gordon & Bowen who will at least run at defenders if given a chance to try. The problem is our defensive set up. 6 players in defensive roles and only 4 in attacking roles and one of them played out of his natural position. That sets the team up to play negatively and limits our forward passing options. When we finally switched (in desperation) to a more attacking formation against Slovakia we scored 2 quick goals. We have the players but our tactics have been wrong.

England possessed some great players in this team - and this match captured the wonderful skills of Matthews, Haynes and Edwards. The movement and understanding between Haynes and Matthews was a joy to behold. I had the privilege as a boy watching both Haynes and Matthews play at club level, and both had those silky skills that made football exciting and entertaining.
This would be a good match to see in its entirety. I believe the "Edwards" referred to by the commentator is Duncan Edwards, the young Man U midfielder who lost his life in Munich. I would like to see more film of him, as well as of Finney.
@michaelmelen9062 Yes it's big Duncan. I went to see his grave and statue on Dudley last year. Unfortunately not much footage is available from that era, unlike today when every minute of every match is shown from 44 different angles.
I'm assuming the "Taylor" we see is Tommy Taylor, Man Utd centre forward who also sadly passed away at Munich. Yes people who saw Edwards say he was really special.
I took the afternoon off school to watch this match on tv. I was 11. Roñnie Clayton, Johnny Haynes and John Atyeo were second division players and Reg Matthrews, the Coventry goalie, was third division south.
Thanks for posting this! I never saw any footage of Stanley M and Johnny Haynes before, though I remember my dad say how good they were, many years ago. I never thought I'd have the chance to actually see them playing, so thanks once again.
My dear ole Barking E-London dad played for West Ham in the 50s. ❤️Signed on as a schoolboy. As a boy, he copied all of Matthews’ tricks. He was an outside winger too. What a game Stan the man had here. One of the greats.
As a boy, I used to go to the Chicken Run. I clearly remember seeing Stanley Matthews ( I think he was 42 at the time) playing for Stoke City. Certainly member Johnny Haynes playing for Fulham. What players they were.
@peteroreilly8060 i remember some of the players from the late fifties team quite well. Jeff Astle? Noel Cantwell, Jim Standen, John Bond, Andy Malcolm, Ken Brown, Malcolm Alison, John Dick, Harry Rednapp, John Sissons.
@@johnlennox-pe2nq apart from the patronising comment you really are just saying that this God person likes to kill people and cause enormous distress for their family and friends. Why would you want to defend such a randomly pathologically murderous being?
The difference in the style of the kits is striking. It took the football league at least another 3 years to catch up with trends. Great seeing the goals.

Wow! Thanks for that. This was two years before Brazil won the world cup so no Pele. Also I always thought Johnny Haynes was left footed, perhaps because he wore number 10 but he clearly favours his right. I had the privilege of seeing Matthews at Highbury when he was nearly 50! (I'm a spurs supporter but in those days things weren't quite as toxic!)
I am a lifelong Arsenal fan, but often went to Spurs when the Gunners were playing away as many others did. I saw the 13-2 cup replay versus Crewe which must be a record. Around the same period, Spurs bet Everton 10-4 which previously, was only associated with Broderick Crawford playing Dan Matthews in Highway Patrol!
8:14 The England full back in this match, Jeff Hall, died in 1959 aged 29 from polio. A young man, fit, and athletic cut down in his prime. This accelerated the vaccination program. So in 14 months 3 fullbacks lost their lives, Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne and Jeff Hall.
That brown leather football soaked by the rain weighed a ton. I was 13 years old when this was played and even younger when I watched Hungary play England live on the television when they beat us 6-2. Ferenc Puskas was playing!
That ball was unheadable when soaked...this ball wasn't even round...they used to take some strange shapes those old balls...maybe that's where the idea for a rugby ball came...
I remember this. Stan was up against Santos, said to be the world's best at that time. Stan ran him ragged and think Santos finished up rugby tackling Stan late on. Possibly a compliment to Stan who was world wide famous.
_"When I saw him, I knew.... that's how Football should be played. It's as if the game had been invented, for this wonderful player."_ -Pele on Stanley Matthews.
Really enjoyed that. Obviously different from todays game but helluva lot better standard than people give it credit for. Also players got time and space to play so much more expressive and enjoyable.
This team were playing with more pace than the Euro 2024 team...For some reason, we left our pacey players on the bench throughout the entire tournament.
Those were the days! Matthews - the famous No 7 - in the era of other greats like Tom Finney and Stan Mortenson...to name just a couple. Today's players should have this available!
Matthews and his one move...that's all he had. But it worked...Some recent players were the same, like Arjen Robben. Even though defenders know this, they know it was coming, they were still powerless.
You can see he was a little bit off it at times...but you can get a sense of his credentials...at 41...this is amazing...he looks the fittest guy in the England team...and can still pass players and run at pace...fantastic. Great to see a bit of Edwards too...legend...both of em...Haynes looked the most influential...great passer and vision...the old Scholes
I noted with interest, the rise in the noise of the crowd everytime Matthews was given the ball. Also interesting to note the footwear. England are still wearing the traditional boots...you can see the white laces..which were basically clogs. The Brazilians are wearing something recogniseable as modern boots...which makes Matthews, Hayne's and the other English performance even more impressive.
th-cam.com/video/f7E4xU970RI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rD7mjGqifVwIZJPr Full match. Mine was an individual highlight video, which is natural not to show Brazil goals.
No mention of not getting the ball on their favoured side as everyone seemed comfortable on ether foot. Do you know that if you kick a ball against a wall for hours and hours…left, right, inside then outside of each…you end up being equally as competent with either. So speaks the voice of experience from one who never progressed beyond Sunday League but who would have been mortified to have been seen moving the ball to my “stronger” side.
Untarnished excellence from Matthews; and, accepted that Pele and Garrincha were not in this side, this Brazil team were still the basis of the 1958 winners and yet Matthews was not picked for Sweden for being too old. Skill and talent never gets old.
@@michaelnunn3669 Winterbottom did not pick the squad or the team, it was done by a committee. Stanley Mathews talks about this in his book. He said England could have done so much better if theyd picked there best players. Even in this game players were playing if a particular committee man wanted them in the team.
Let's be serious; the Brazilians had no answer to him and when we finally went to Sweden, our main man (Tom Finney) was injured in the first game and was a passenger there after. That left Haynes to try to win everything with no one to pass to. So it was a bloody disaster.
I listend to the match between England and Spain on the radio 1960/1 . England won 4-2 , Haynes was brilliant in that game. A time when international matches meant something to the players , today its more of a chore ,
2 years after this, Brazil won the World Cup (with Pele) & two of England’s (& Man Utd’s) brightest young stars playing in this game, Duncan Edwards & Tommy Taylor, were tragically killed in the Munich air disaster.
So sad seeing what might have been, the great Duncan Edwards who with the other England players lost in the Munich air crash would surely have been playing in the 1958 World Cup and possibly winning it and he would have still been only 30 years old in 1966 so might well have been captain. Makes one think about what fate decides. There was none of that "tikky takky " football and endless passing square and back to the keeper. Passing forward and players running with the ball and taking defenders on what a dream to watch.
I would love to see two of the top premier league teams play a full time game with a leather ball that was used in the 50s!!!!!!!! A corner kick would just reach the penalty area and no one could pass from one side of the pitch to the other. 😊
Still a top player in his 40's, one of the first players to really take care of his body. Interms of an out & out RW, dribbling & getting a cross in maybe the best there's ever been?
It’s hard to compare football in those days to now, if only because the equipment - ball and boots - were quite different. Much heavier, and made of leather. The ball bounced much less than today, and it was much harder, especially with the old style boots, to get under it to lift it into the air. Oh, and the ball hurt like hell when you headed it, especially if it was wet and even heavier.
This is what football used to be like before managers got obsessed with boring ' to you to me, to you to me, sideways backwards, keep possession football '.
"Horses for Courses".....the pitches in Britain were mudbaths up until the 1980's. Slippers like the South Americans wore would have been pulled-off by the quagmires , inside the first half-hour of the game. Even Wembley was poor- try to watch the highlights of Arsenal V Swindon Town League Cup Final at Wembley.
The hey days of soccer today Stanley Mathews would probably faint if you told him he could earn 1000 s per week 7 pounds per week what's the conversion to today's currency on the exchange today
It maybe in black n white, but how refreshing, no hype, just plain commentary, no adverts on the strip, no diving and falling to the floor like they have been poleaxed, the modern game is terrible to watch, so much so, i stopped watching it 3 years ago, Our current England squad need to take a leaf or two out of these guys book, they might win something.
Funny watching England players passing the ball and confident to take the ball anywhere on the pitch - how did the managers and FA get it so ffing wrong after players like this...
That's such a salient pt...I oft look for evolvement in matters...and how it relates to external forces impacting matters. Many of the players were from proper working class backgrounds. I do not know what the training was like as youths and so on...but youths would play for endless hrs in those days at the back of terrace rows...Rooney was the last street footballer some say. Technically, they sure do look good, and frankly whenever I hear people talking of how good our teams are since the 80s...I look back at these days...and they were the best. They should have won a few world cups back then...and shame we lost Taylor and Edwards in 58 before the World Cup, which affected 62 too. They just look better on the ball...as though it is second nature. Now they dont have spare land to play...so have to go to Clubs for a game, so dont play as many minutes, and not used to beating men the same...which you could do with mates...but not at Clubs...who tend to get rid of any individual abilities. I sure do drool when I see these players...and Charlton comes through soon...how he kicked a casey like he did...I do not know...amazing.
According to Wayne Rooney & Gary Neville,Harry Kane is England's Great ever footballer ; being able to kick a football does not have to equate with intelligence obviously . Matthews was a bit before my time but how I would have loved to have seen him.Still can't believe I read those comments.
The excitement can clearly be heard every time Matthews gets the ball, amazing.

There was none of that "tikky takky " football and endless passing square and back to the keeper. Passing forward and players running with the ball and taking defenders on what a dream to watch.
He was 41 years
Haynes and Matthews, there is two that put the ball at risk, would not make Southgates drab team.........thank you, wonderful to watch.
Seriously thought this was the follow up to the Comedy by Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse 😂😅😭🤣
And all for an orange at half time,and ten bob a week😂
Our dad named our cat Zozimo after that Brazilian player 😊
😁
Was it a good footballer...or maybe it danced...salsa?
@@nialloneill5097 I don’t remember it celebrating the Mardi Gras, I’ll be honest
I get the impression that the ball was heavier then and didn't bounce as much.
I would love to see two of the top premier league teams play a full time game with a leather ball that was used in the 50s!!!!!!!! A corner kick would just reach the penalty area and no one could pass from one side of the pitch to the other.
😊
Still a top player in his 40's, one of the first players to really take care of his body. Interms of an out & out RW, dribbling & getting a cross in maybe the best there's ever been?
I'm sure I read somewhere that he never earned more than £25 a week during his playing career. (the maximum wage that was allowed by the FA.)
Gramado excelente. Em 1956....
It’s hard to compare football in those days to now, if only because the equipment - ball and boots - were quite different.
Much heavier, and made of leather. The ball bounced much less than today, and it was much harder, especially with the old style boots, to get under it to lift it into the air.
Oh, and the ball hurt like hell when you headed it, especially if it was wet and even heavier.
Probably only the argentinian Corbatta at 1957 in Peru, made something like this with Nilton Santos
Kenneth Wolstenholme commentating?
Yes
Matthews was 101 years old at this time.
This is what football used to be like before managers got obsessed with boring ' to you to me, to you to me, sideways backwards, keep possession football '.
Did Charlie Charles play one of the famous Charles brothers
@@stievboyo636 nope
The Charles brothers were Welsh - John and Mel
Why didn't we see the Brazil goals?
Because this is Matthews touch video. You can find full match and highlights in TH-cam!
Diference in footware, england playing in pit boots , and brazil go on to rule the world.
"Horses for Courses".....the pitches in Britain were mudbaths up until the 1980's. Slippers like the South Americans wore would have been pulled-off by the quagmires , inside the first half-hour of the game. Even Wembley was poor- try to watch the highlights of Arsenal V Swindon Town League Cup Final at Wembley.
I think the co-commentator was the Arsenal player Wally Barnes.
Where exactly was this match played? Almost looks like an indoor match.
Wembley
Not a single back pass to the keeper.
Stanley mathews aos 41 anos dando um baile em Nilton santos com 31
The hey days of soccer today Stanley Mathews would probably faint if you told him he could earn 1000 s per week 7 pounds per week what's the conversion to today's currency on the exchange today
The rest is history!!
Was Garrincha playing for Brazil?
No. Paulinho from CR Flamengo played as an Outside Right for Brazil.
After 5:35 Mathews should've dived. He would've almost certainly have a pen.
I watched him Play against Everton in 1938. I was 7 years old !.....I think he was splaying for Blackpool ? Can anybody check this ?
@alanmiller8887 He was playing for Blackpool in 1956, for Stokecity in 1938.
Haynes looked the best England player.
He looked the fittest...and he was 41?
It maybe in black n white, but how refreshing, no hype, just plain commentary, no adverts on the strip, no diving and falling to the floor like they have been poleaxed, the modern game is terrible to watch, so much so, i stopped watching it 3 years ago, Our current England squad need to take a leaf or two out of these guys book, they might win something.
The Brazil team had better fitting shorts. That football looks so heavy, imagine the damage it does every time they head it.
We cannot tell you for sure...there are none of the headers left to tell their story...
seen him play for stoke at goodison think he was 50
Forget Matthews and his bad passing in this 10min clip, i was more impressed with Johnny Haynes here. Wow what a game he must have had.
If i'm not mistaken Reg Mathews of Coventry a third division team played in Goal?
brazil fans chanting: "He's just like Alan Brazil! He's just like Alan Brazil!," 🤣🤣
The difference between then and now is speed and agility. The players became better athletes.
Sorry, Michelle M - this vile intrusion means NEVER Spectrum! See SNL cancellation clip, not a joke, I experienced even worse.
Johnny Haynes, the FIRST wage of £100 / week player.....😮
Funny watching England players passing the ball and confident to take the ball anywhere on the pitch - how did the managers and FA get it so ffing wrong after players like this...
That's such a salient pt...I oft look for evolvement in matters...and how it relates to external forces impacting matters. Many of the players were from proper working class backgrounds. I do not know what the training was like as youths and so on...but youths would play for endless hrs in those days at the back of terrace rows...Rooney was the last street footballer some say. Technically, they sure do look good, and frankly whenever I hear people talking of how good our teams are since the 80s...I look back at these days...and they were the best. They should have won a few world cups back then...and shame we lost Taylor and Edwards in 58 before the World Cup, which affected 62 too. They just look better on the ball...as though it is second nature. Now they dont have spare land to play...so have to go to Clubs for a game, so dont play as many minutes, and not used to beating men the same...which you could do with mates...but not at Clubs...who tend to get rid of any individual abilities. I sure do drool when I see these players...and Charlton comes through soon...how he kicked a casey like he did...I do not know...amazing.
They did alright in 66even though they depended on a Russian linesman for one goal. He they won fair and square thr gran old English way.
According to Wayne Rooney & Gary Neville,Harry Kane is England's Great ever footballer ; being able to kick a football does not have to equate with intelligence obviously . Matthews was a bit before my time but how I would have loved to have seen him.Still can't believe I read those comments.
What did Rooney ever achieve with his Country's team ?
What about Jeff astle. The man who only got one chance. Definitely better than kane. Few games back then but the goals were better.
