The 1953 FA Cup Final, also known as the Matthews Final was contested between Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers with Blackpool winning 4-3. The match became famous for the performance of Blackpool winger Stanley Matthews after whom it was nicknamed. It remains the only Wembley FA Cup Final to feature a hat trick, scored by Blackpool's Stan Mortensen. It was also the first football match attended by the reigning monarch, Elizabeth II, who would be crowned Queen at her coronation a month later.
