The 1953 FA Cup final, also known as the Matthews Final,[1] 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, equalling the record for the highest scoring FA Cup Final which had been set in the final of 1890.[2] The match became famous for the performance of Blackpool winger Stanley Matthews, after whom it was nicknamed. It was the third FA Cup Final (after those in 1890 and 1894) to feature a hat-trick, scored by Blackpool's Stan Mortensen.[3][4] Blackpool were making their third FA Cup final appearance in six years having been losing finalists twice, in 1948 and 1951.
In February 2010, the boots worn by Matthews in the match were auctioned at Bonhams in Chester for £38,400, to an undisclosed buyer[5] and in November 2014 Matthews' winning medal was sold for £220,000.[6] The match ball fetched £5,250 in 2018.[7]
