Stanley Matthews' international cap for the Football Association Tour of Canada in 1950, the blue cap inscribed TOUR OF CANADA, 1950, colour somewhat faded; sold with a Cancer Research Campaign signed by Matthews and relating to his donation of the cap for fund raising (2) Stanley Matthews was selected for the England squad for their first appearance at a World Cup in 1950. Somewhat bizarrely the F.A. asked Matthews firstly to go on their Tour of Canada. This meant when he then travelled onto Brazil he missed England's opening match v Chile.
