The old REAL Wembley Stadium. What did they mean by pulling down my beloved Twin Towers, established under George V for the 1920s British Empire Exhibition! What happy hours I spend there watching football in my early teens; sometimes even almost empty - they must have been hiring it out for a song on late spring evenings during WWii. I remember a great wartime match once in front of only a few hundred, between the Services and the Police & Civilian Services. Arsenal's great left wing Clifford Bastin, by then a stone-deaf 39-year-old, played one of the most blinding games I've ever seen.

Ah, nostalgia. Whatever did they have to replace it with the present hideous monstrosity for?
