The 1923 FA Cup Final was the first match ever to be played at the original Wembley stadium. The game between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United is not only famous for being the first final at the stadium but for the huge crowd of over 200,000 people that watched the match.

Education is one of the most important investments that people make in their lives. You have to choose from various colleges which would be a stepping stone to a great career. But education can be very expensive in these days. This is why students try and get the best scholarship possible. You can get these by recommendation letters great GMAT scores as well as sports scholarships.

As a fan of another famous team in Red, it is very difficult for me to have any sort of sympathy for the plight of Liverpool. My support for them at this, their hour of need is therefore based not on love for their team but on the desire for self preservation. This disaster could happen to any English Premier League team. The system is broken.

John Aldridge only spent two and a half years at Liverpool Football Club, but he will always be remembered as one of their greatest ever players. Aldridge made 104 appearances and scored 63 goals for the club, and he became a true Liverpool legend.

A popular riddle doing the rounds on the Internet during the FIFA World Cup goes: “What’s plastic, a metre long, brightly coloured and sounds like an elephant?” If your answer was “a miniature spaceship used by a Martian dwarf”, I am sorry to have to inform you that your answer is wrong. The correct answer is the ‘vuvuzela’, a horn-like “musical” instrument that makes the kazoo pleasant sounding by comparison, and which is played by spectators at South African world cup venues to create an atmosphere.

To say the last 6 months have been turbulent for Liverpool FC would be a great understatement, current owners Gillette and Hicks have driven the company into unbearable debts and are doing all they can to sell it off and selfishly salvage some profit. Previous manager Rafa Benitez came under huge criticism as he led the club into one of their poorest seasons in history. It seems like it all went downhill since they won the European Champions League in 2005.

Alan Kennedy spent seven great years at Liverpool Football Club, and will always be remembered for scoring the winning goal in the 1981 European Cup final against Real Madrid and a winning penalty against Roma. Kennedy made 359 appearances for the Reds, winning six League titles, two European cups, and four League Cups. Alan Kennedy became a true Liverpool legend.

As a lifelong Arsenal fan, I was obviously going to jump at the chance of free corporate hospitality tickets at the Emirates Stadium (thanks, Dad). We’re not just talking club level; we’re talking our own private box of nine people, owned by my Dad’s company. Even better; my Dad had managed to hustle three tickets, meaning that my Dad, brother and I could all go together (something that we had previously been deprived of).

Steve McManaman signed for Liverpool Football Club at the age of fourteen, he was born in Liverpool, but ironically he was an Everton supporter as a child. He went onto make 364 appearances for Liverpool and score 66 goals. He became a true Liverpool legend.

The oldest football team in Wales are known as Cefn Druids and were formed in 1869. After success in the Welsh leagues and winning the Welsh Cup, the Druids have also competed in the English FA Cup. Several Druids players have represented the Wales national team and the team are still playing in the Welsh league today.

Throughout the past 100 years, multiple football formations and styles have come in and out of fashion (and popularity). Around ten years ago, the 4-4-2 formation was seen as the best choice for most football teams (although these days most managers seem to prefer the 4-5-1 formation instead). This is not to say that it’s still not widely used by lots of teams (and used effectively), just that it’s not as widely used as it once was.

Maradona is wary of the injury risk his players face against ‘rough and ready’ Nigeria. Maradona who had more than his share of controversy as a player has also been in the news as a coach for reasons he does not relish. He had a running battle with local journalists back home, as Argentina struggled through the qualifiers. Ahead of Argentina’s tournament opener against Nigeria, the Argentina coach admitted he was nervous.
