The maestro's touch led to each of England's goals, Brazil having drawn level soon after half-time after going two down early in the game. As Didi reflected: "The play of Matthews was an exhibition of his genius – an extraordinary player in the same class as Garrincha. I never thought a player that age could do what he did"In Stanley Matthews, England had their very own samba star (David Miller, "The Independent", 4 febbraio 2013)
