4.9/5 (17047 ratings)

Description:When Australian businessman Jack Skolnik wanted to arrange a football tour to Australia, his idea was a so-called ‘Stan Matthews’ team’, as the maestro was a huge drawing attraction anywhere in the world. This idea eventually translated into a tour by Matthews’ club side, Blackpool, then a powerful First Division side and recent FA Cup winners, who agreed to undertake a tour down under with stop-offs and games in America, en route, and Hong Kong, on the way home. The games in Australia were against the State sides and the Australian national side, the matches against the latter being a series of five so-called Test Matches. Blackpool took a strong party with them as they expected to successfully challenge the opposition and, hopefully, maintain English soccer supremacy down under. Despite association football being a Cinderella sport in Australia at the time, the crowds turned out in goodly numbers to watch the Seasiders and in particular Stanley Matthews. They were not to be disappointed and this is the untold story of that ‘Round the World’ tour of 56 years ago.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
