Personally i think the first one is the answer to our undersoil heating system well it will be when Karl spots it.
Sir Stanley Matthews began his professional career at Stoke City, aged 17, in 1932. Here he is in December 1938, with ground staff at Stoke tending the braziers which have been placed on the pitch in an attempt to thaw the frozen ground, while Matthews warms his hands over one of the fires
This snap shows the England team, including Sir Stan and future World Cup-winning manager Sir Alf Ramsey, lined up at Highbury before the start of a series of international matches in 1948. Left to right: Frank Swift, John Aston, Alf Ramsey, Howe, Billy Wright, Neil Franklin, W E Nicholson, Henry Cockburn, Tom Finney, Tommy Lawton, W Mannion, R Langton, Stanley Mortensen, Stan Pearson, Stanley Matthews and Laurie Scott
The Second World War cost Matthews his football career between the ages of 24 and 30, as the regular professional football programme was suspended. He joined the Royal Air Force and is pictured playing for the RAF's representative team above. Matthews also turned out for Blackpool, Stoke, Rangers and Arsenal in wartime fixtures
After the war, in 1947 Matthews left his hometown club and signed for Blackpool. That's Sir Stan on the end of Chelsea left-back Hughes' sliding tackle during a 1951 match at Stamford Bridge. Look at that crowd!
In the days before European competition and the League Cup, English clubs could only compete for the league title and the FA Cup. A trophy eluded England's finest footballer for two decades, including FA Cup runners up medals in 1948 and 1951, but it was third time lucky in 1953, when Sir Stan inspired Blackpool to a thrilling 4-3 win against Bolton in the Cup final, otherwise known as 'The Matthews Final'. A proud Matthews received his winner's medal from a young Queen Elizabeth II
