100 years of Wembley Stadium told through 100 matches.A� The 1923 FA Cup final �_" also known as the White Horse final �_" was the first football match played at the British Empire Exhibition Stadium. Although best remembered for its vast, well-beyond-capacity crowd, which had to be marshalled by a policeman atop a white horse, that afternoon marked the opening chapter of the long and eventful history of the stadium soon to be known simply as Wembley. A� Over the 100 years since that overcrowded day, Wembley has established itself as the home of the beautiful game and, almost certainly, the world�_Ts most famous football stadium.A�It occupies a special place in the hearts of players and punters alike. Watching your team at Wembley is the highlight of a fan�_Ts lifetime of support; playing there the fulfilment of a childhood dream. Its sacred pitch has been the crucible of many classic matches across the decades: World Cups have been won here, as have FA Cups, European Cups, play-off finals and more. And that hallowed turf has also seen greyhounds, stunt motorcycles, American football, plus the feet of 72,000 music fans at Live Aid in 1985.A� Nige Tassell chooses 100 matches - from the well known to the esoteric - that have shaped Wembley's legacy and tells a lively and original alternative history of the past 100 years of football, and of Britain.A�We hear a ball boy�_Ts perspective on the FA Cup Final when Bert Trautmann broke his neck, about the other commentator of the 1966 World Cup final, and why a cup-winning team of eleven unemployed menA�didn'tA�receive a trophy from a future king.A�Field of Dreams isA�the story of how football found its home.A� A�
