  • The two iconic towers of Wembley Stadium are demolished during the the large regeneration of the famous football venue and surrounding district, on 6th December 2002, in London, England. Wembley Stadium, was the most famous football ground in the world. Because England was the birthplace of the modern game and shared with Scotland the founding role in international football, Wembley, as it evolved into England's national stadium, gained worldwide regard as the citadel of football and as hallowed ground. After England began playing teams other than Scotland at Wembley in 1951, the world's national sides considered an invitation to play there a great honour. England played 223 matches at old Wembley including the historic 1966 Jules Rimet World Cup Final.

  • Tourists lunge over the original 4th century start/finish line in the stadium at Olympia. Hercules is said to have paced out the 600 Greek feet - or Stadion - from which we get the word 'stadium. On the grassy bank in the background is where the seating once accommodated the many sporting pilgrims who travelled to this place from all over Greece during agreed warfare truces in the weeks of the Olympic festival. The 29th Olympics came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past..

One reaches down to pick up a patriotic hat during the celebrations commemorating the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. West Ham was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks FC and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. In 1904 the club relocated to their current Boleyn Ground stadium and will take over the 2012 Olympic stadium.

  • Original Olympic track, ancient Olympia. English tourist family lunge for their own Olympic victory at Olympia's original start/finish line in the stadium. Hercules is said to have paced out the 600 Greek feet - or Stadion - from which we get the word 'stadium'. The 29th modern Olympic circus came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics was among the woodland of Ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad will echo both what was great and horrid about the past.
