He helped Stoke to the Second Division title in 1932–33 and 1962–63.Matthews kept fit enough to play at the top level until he was 50 years old.

There's a Great Q&A for the Jam here on the Stoke-ON-TREND Page here 

What kind of games are you looking for?

We’re looking for digital games to be created that will be uploaded to Itch.io and ideally playable via smartphones using HTML. We've got a pack for Jammers with details all of the different game engines that you could use for this. We also want to make sure this GamesJam is as open as possible so we're happy if you want to make a game that's only playable on PCs too.

Who will see my game?

Anyone! Since the games will be accessible via QR codes in the city centre, you can expect shoppers, diners, city centre workers and residents, families and anyone with a smartphone to be able to play. We’d love Jammers to encourage their friends and family to come along and play too.
