	Review \| Search Party: Collected Poems, by William Matthews
		Although Matthews was something of a ubiquitous figure on the literary landscape of the 1980s and early '90s, recent anthologies have ignored him, and his work has attracted little critical attention.
		Matthews was not interested in the earnest disassemblings and assaults on linearity which have come to be such an important aspect of our period style, nor did he display the self-indulgence and mere schtick which contemporary poets have often confused with wit.
		Matthews in passages such as these expresses the art of poesy as well as the art of joke-telling, with an acute sense of timing and delight in comic wordplay: here, as elsewhere, Matthews puns relentlessly, offers zingers and one-liners, all in the space of a few lines.

	Stanley Mortensen - Profile of Stan Mortensen, Blackpool & England footballer
		There can be no doubt that Stanley Mortensen owed a large debt of gratitude to the imperious wing play of Stanley Matthews during his illustrious career as a rapacious goalgetter for both Blackpool and England, a debt the universally gracious Mortensen was always first to acknowledge.
		Matthews still had time to slice open the Bolton left flank one last time and provide the opening for Bill Perry to bang home the winner, thereby giving both Mortensen and Matthews the medals they craved.
		Interestingly Matthews gave full credit to Mortensen, even for his part in the winning goal, praising the run he had made into the six yard box which drew the covering defenders out of the middle and left Perry completely open.

		Matthews had a way with quotable sayings: "Is love the reward, or the test itself?" His unpretentious free verse and his all-American topics recall slightly older poets such as Philip Levine, Donald Hall and Matthews's friend Gerald Stern.
		Naturally, Matthews' poetry evolved over the decades, gradually shedding the imagistic exuberance of his early works for an increasingly classical mode, an approach that creates a profound tension between the intensity of feeling and the rigor of form.
		A master of the understatement, Matthews is wryly philosophical and self-deprecating, but he also evinces surprise and gratitude for the arrival of perfect metaphors.

		Matthews played in an era when the game was often slow and hard but, incredibly, so much cleaner and sportsmanlike than it is nowadays.
		Matthews had the uncanny ability to drop his left shoulder which had the effect of taking his body slightly to the left.
		On the morning of a match Matthews, who for much of his professional life travelled everywhere either on foot or by bus, used to put on a pair of extremely heavy old working boots and he would shuffle round for several hours with these great weights on his feet.
