I've seen these photos before, but I still can't believe how rural Wembley was, and how built up it is now.

Great photos, 1 and 4 seen before but never seen the others. The one of constructing the tower is a real gem, bet they had a reight bonfire night when completed.
Towers should never have been pulled down but built into the new stadium, FA right set of *****.

So Wembley was the original "soulless bowl in the middle of nowhere"?

View attachment 95169 Where's the goal posts and net gone.
Is this goal the whole reason northern clubs get the rough end of the stick when there is doubt about an important decision made in a match?

How come they had a camera in the right place where as eighty odd years later and several cameras with improved technology on one goal, a judgment couldn't be made.

A great day, Sunday afternoon in 1986. About 18,000 there. Not bad to say TC left us 10 years before. Housemartins appeared. Was that due to the Paul Heaton link?

I seem to remember Chris Quentin doing somersaults.

Opening day of the 1997/98 season if I'm not mistaken. A 2-0 win over Sunderland courtesy of Fjortoft and Borbokis.

Bit of useless info, I believe Shimwell of Blackpool became the first full back to score in a Wembley cup final, mind say, I think it was a pen.

It now begs the question SB, who was the first full back to score from open play at Wembley?

Bert and Silent Blade
I wonder if you know this very hard question.
Who is the record penalty taker in Blades history?.
I wish I knew.

He'd get beat if Silent was on the opposition, the only way he'd beat him was if the quizmaster wore a mask.

No idea

I know he missed 12 but scored most of them on the follow up after the keeper saved it. Not sure how many he scored in total.
