Wembley Stadium - The Heart of English Football

Submitted By: Steven Yates

It's not that long ago, really, that the only football matches played at Wembley were England internationals and FA Cup Finals. Then the League Cup Final, in 1967, between QPR and WBA was played at the stadium instead of being a two-legged tie.

Now, of course, football matches held at Wembley Stadium are no longer such a novelty – and they are also, thankfully, a much better experience for the spectator.

Now I'm not deriding the old Empire Stadium, as it was officially known, as it hosted some wonderful matches during its three quarters of a century. But even its most ardent supporters must admit that it was showing its age – to such an extent that more than just a 'facelift' was required to bring it into the twenty first century. When it was changed into an all-seater stadium, some of the seating put in had awful views and no leg room and, if you wanted to go to the toilet you had to be prepared to miss a good part of the match. Walking round the concourse beneath the stands really was like going back fifty years.

Not any more! The 'new' Wembley – or the 'almost new' Wembley now, I suppose we should call it, is a magnificent experience.

Let's face it, anyone who has been to Old Trafford, the Emirates Stadium, Eastlands or similar state-of-the-art football grounds, will have high expectations nowadays. Grounds such as these have set remarkably high standards – there can't be any European countries with as many wonderful stadiums. And Wembley loses nothing in comparison with any of them.

One of only five stadiums that FIFA has given a Five Star rating, Wembley is the second largest ground in Europe. Only Barcelona's Nou Camp holds more spectators than Wembley's 90,000 and I know where I'd rather be watching a match in the pouring rain! All seats at Wembley are undercover and the leg room now is such that you don't have to sit with your knees almost touching your nose all game.

And as for the toilets – well, I'll just say that I've been in Five Star hotels with less impressive facilities. And, with over two and a half thousand around the ground, you've almost got time to nip to the loo while a substitution is being made.

A lot was made of the inadequacies of the Wembley pitch for a while – the FA Cup semi-finalists in 2009 being especially critical. By the time the end of season round of Play Offs, internationals and the FA Cup Final itself came round, though, it had begun to look as if the initial teething problems had been dealt with.

The 'new' Wembley Stadium had to accept a good deal of criticism in the construction days. Spiralling budgets and missed deadlines led to an undisguised scepticism from many journalists and football supporters.

Now that people have been to the stadium, though, and enjoyed matches there, there can be little doubt that the whole experience has been a massive success.

If you've not been to Wembley yet, then take in a match as soon as you can. It would probably be best to use public transport to get there – Wembley Park and Wembley Central Underground stations and Wembley railway Station are all an easy walk away – and as soon as you see that magnifient arch towering above, you'll know you're in for a wonderful experience.

Frank Lampard

Written by Steve Yates

Few people who have won 76 caps for England, scoring 20 goals in the process, have divided the nation’s football fans as much as FJustify Fullrank Lampard. Lamps, if you’re a fan; Fat Frank, if you’re not.

Not many England players have actually been booed by the Wembley crowd whilst they’re representing their country - John Barnes in 1994 and Ashley Cole more recently come to mind. It happened to Frank Lampard, though, in a qualifying match against Estonia in October, 2007.

And yet this was a player who had been selected in the Team of the Tournament at Euro 2004, as well as being runner-up the year later as both FIFA World Player of the Year and European Footballer of the Year.

However, having to prove points to his own team’s followers has always seemed to be a part of the game for Frank Lampard. Born 31 years ago into a modern footballing dynasty - his dad was an England full back and won the FA Cup twice with West Ham and his uncle is Harry Redknapp - Lampard firstly had to prove his worth to some sceptical West Ham fans who thought he had his place in the first team more through nepotism than playing ability. Even after 148 games, with 24 goals, there were still some who questioned his worth. It was at this time that the Fat Frank epithet became quite commonly heard, despite the player’s obviously phenomenal ability to run up and down the pitch non-stop for 90 minutes.

An academically very bright young man - he famously acquired an A Grade in his Latin GCSE - it was probably for the best when, in 2001, he eventually moved across London to join Chelsea - making West Ham more than £11 million. By this time he had already represented England at full international level and this move enabled Frank Lampard to undoubtedly establish himself as one of Europe’s best midfield players.

During his time at Chelsea, Lampard has been an ever-present first choice and has always been admired by the club’s successive managers. Supporters, of course, will talk mostly of his goals - he has so far scored 136 in all competitions. Only legends Bobby Tambling, Kerry Dixon, Roy Bentley and Peter Osgood have scored more for the club than Lampard who is, don’t forget, primarily a midfield player. His game is far more than just being a goalscorer, though. Never afraid to tackle, track back and do the unglamorous parts of a midfielder’s job, his combative nature is matched by a calm temperament on the pitch; a calmness that no doubt has helped him become one of the English game’s most reliable penalty takers.

Frank rose in the estimation of many people when he handled the tragic loss of his mother in such a dignified manner in April 2008, and in the unashamed way he has remembered her in his goal celebrations since then.

In his time at Chelsea, Frank has won every honour in the domestic game, as well as being Chelsea’s Player of the Year on three occasions, England Player of the Year and Barclays Player of the Year twice. He will now be hoping to make this season the most memorable of his career by helping Chelsea win their first Champions’ league trophy and perhaps be part of an England squad that makes it past the Quarter Finals of the 2010 World Cup next summer.

If he’s successful, those Fat Frank jibes will seem like a very distant memory.

Carlos Tévez

Written by Steve Yates

By looking at the bare statistics, you’d be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss was about with Carlos Tévez.

Seven goals in 26 league games for West Ham United; 19 in 63 for Manchester United. Hardly the sort of figures that should have West Ham fans singing his name out when he returned to play against them or, for that matter, the Old Trafford faithful to keep on urging Fergie to ‘Sign him up, sign him up sign him up’ at every home game. Certainly not the kind of player you might expect to have a ‘Welcome to Manchester’ poster displayed in the city centre for.

Even for his national team the Argentine striker has been no more prolific - 8 goals in 51 appearances making him quite Heskey-like in his goals per game ratio.

And yet, wherever he has played, Carlos Tévez has been adored by the followers of his team. And he has three times been South American Player of the Season, and Hammer of the Year at West Ham after scoring the goal that ensured their Premier League survival - ironically at Old Trafford in May, 2007. It might be because of his tremendous work ethic and willingness to chase all day long; it might be because of his sometimes sublime link-up play; it might even be because, with one or two notable exceptions, not many South Americans have adapted so readily to life at the top of English football. Whatever the secret, it resulted in Manchester City followers being delighted when he was one of Mark Hughes’ recruits during the summer of 2009.

Even now, after just 5 goals in his first 14 matches for the club, there are few supporters who wouldn’t have Tévez as one of the first names on the team sheet.

Carlos Alberto Tévez was originally from Ciudadela in Buenos Aires - from a district known as ‘Fuerte Apache’. The nickname that has followed the player since, Apache, was given him at his earliest youth football club, All Boys. After signing for the famous Boca Juniors club and then subsequently transferring to Corinthians, his all-action style attracted the foreign scouts but after that it all began to get complicated.

All the ramifications of the deal which Media Sports Investments made with West Ham will probably never come to light - and the legal minefield frightened off some of the clubs interested in the player and his compatriot Javier Mascherano. The situation became even more complicated when Tévez moved to Manchester United on a two year loan deal which then had the possibility of the Old Trafford team buying the player outright.

Despite being one of the crowd’s favourites, Tévez clearly felt unappreciated by some quarters at United. Left out for too many of the big matches and seemingly facing a reluctance to negotiate a full transfer, he made it clear that he would move on in the summer of 2009. Nevertheless, he must have left Old Trafford with many good memories - notably scoring the opening penalty in the Champions League Final shoot-out victory over Chelsea.

Since arriving at Eastlands to wear the Manchester City shirt - for what was claimed in the press to be a British record fee of £47 million - Tévez’s all-action style has earned him his usual praise from the supporters - still revelling, of course, in snatching him from their local rivals. Already helping guide Mark Hughes’ side to their first major cup semi-final since 1981 - and scoring a fabulous goal against Arsenal in the 3 - 0 quarter final victory - Tévez’s attitude on the pitch belies his claim in the Argentine press that he was so tired he would consider retiring from football after the South Africa World Cup were his team to take the trophy. Perhaps he was considering making more cumbia villera tracks with his band - apparently that‘s his favourite pastime outside of football.

Certainly City fans will be hoping that this was a quote taaken out of context somehow and that - World Cup winner or not - Carlos Tévez is back playing for the club in the Champions’ League next season. After all, they already know that, as far as he is concerned, bare statistics don’t go anywhere near explaining his value to the team.
