THE MATTHEWS SCISSOR

With this new trick, I have combined moved from two very famous players in their time. Of course Cristiano Ronaldo is one of best, if not the best in peoples minds, players in the world. However, Sir Stanley Matthews was often regarded as one of the greatest players of the English game, he is the only player to have been knighted while still playing, as well as being the first winner of both the European Footballer of the Year and the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year awards. Matthews' nicknames included "The Wizard of the Dribble" and "The Magician".
