My heart broke when I saw the demolished towers. They were so beautiful and majestic.

Anyone who attended The Old Wembley Stadium, must have understood that changes needed to come! The Biggest Mistake was This ... They should have Kept The Twin Towers and re-positioned at the start of Wembley Way.

how on earth you destroy and demolish such a heritage ad history and character? what a crime,should have been preserved and restored and renovate, you cant buy this history and heritage with money

So sad to see history being knocked down to be replaced by something modern.

i still believe they could have save the towers and make then part of the new Stadium. I didn't see the point of demolishing everything

Over time Wembley took on a life, The history was almost tangible just walking in, It was alive, Sadly missed and Pele was absolutely right.

Come si può aver fatto una cosa del genere, abbattuto un glorioso stadio. Che peccato, mi piange il cuore. Da italiano mi dispiace tantissimo... un saluto fratelli inglesi

4:04 That's how it should have been preserved,lovely walkway with trees. Should have kept the exterior and just completely renovated inside,digging down abit to fit more seats in.

So glad I was able to go to the old Wembley 3 times & watch my club Birmingham win twice in 91 & 95 & then see England beat Poland in 99.

Fantastic vid!

I'm probably in a minority, but they should never have demolished the old stadium, and could have still had it for pop concerts etc. A new National Stadium would have been better located in Birmingham imo, easier to get to too etc. A great video and a place I visited many times from my childhood through the decades, Football, Speedway, Bon Jovi (Concert just before it was demolished).

so wholesome, thank's so much !

Wait... we had helicopters in 1935

Nice vid please make one of Hampden if you can 👍

After seeing this I think the world cup 2030 should take place in England and it's final in Wembley.

Lovely video

Can you do Hampden, the Azteca, La Bombonera, and Maracana. Great stuff!

Love the classic look of old British stadiums. Now most of them look modern and .....mmmm...just like the rest of the modern stadiums.

Such a crying shame that the corporate men in suits got their way and demolished the grand old lady. THE most iconic venue in the whole world. Point of order though: the match where the official crowd was 126,000 they stated an estimated 300,000. This is incorrect. The accepted estimate for that day was 200,000. That's just the 200,000 then!! Amazing stadium with such evocative memories. Wonderful memories. Gone forever. Never forgotten 💔

Fantastic new channel. As somewhat of a football historian myself i know that Archibald Leitch was the mastermind behind many British football stadia.

Brilliant!

Saliba was fantastic tonight! As was Jesus and Zinchenko!

Hey! Where can I found that pictures?

I never been to Wembley. But you forgot Madonna when she brought her world tours there from the Who's that girl tour, blonde ambition tour, girlie show and her sticky sweet tour. I'm a Michigan native and I watch her tours from this iconic stadium. these tours were from 1987, 1990, 1993 and 2008

It's better giving the old wembley to crystal palace

One of the greatest football stadiums, please make one video about the Maracana Stadium

don't forget all the rugby league matches played at Wembley.

This is like demolishing the empire State building.

I wish they never demolished these beautiful historical English stadium 😭

I get its outdated and the pitch is big but they should have renovated and modernized it. Worked out for Wimbledon, Maracana, etc

You didn't mention that there used to be a dog track around the outside of the pitch. Presumably that was built over the old running track from the Olympic games?

Look at those achievements we back in the day. This stadium 300 days. The empire state building, similar rate of construction. Then look at the pathetic time it takes for things to get built now.

Was it EVER officially called Wembley Stadium ? I know it was owned by a "Wembley stadium plc"

I was saddened to see the twin towers demolished, I don't see why they couldn't have been taken down and moved down to Wembley way (they moved London Bridge for God sake !). Would have been a nice contrast, the old and the new

7:45 Nothing but one word: crime

I have a piece of the old Wembley at home

Wembley looked like it was in the countryside when first being built

just watched some Queen concert clips with Freddie back in the 80s... How on earth could they destroy a stadium like the original Wembley with the iconic towers? Not only football but so many great concerts took place there. The new stadium is "just another modern stadium"... as nice as it might be, it lacks the "soul", man. what a shame

You forgot the greyhound racing. A regular occurance at the old Wembly stadium.

What a fucking stadium it was

Queen's stadium

300,000 right ..i don't think so maybe 135,000 not 300 000 remember it was half seated too..you only get one fan in a seat. Great videos by the way..

The running track around the old Wembley stadium spoiled it the fans where too far away from game

300.000 nope. Good video though.

Legends Left Legecy...

Hope Englishman shouldn't do this to LORD'S CRICKET STADIUM in LONDON...That is such an iconic stadium. It feels so classic when I watched TEST CRICKET there and ENGLAND WON 2019 WORLD CUP FINALS in LORD'S STADIUM 👍🏻

It looked ancient. Was it ancient ruins?

Who in the right mind decided to get rid of the towers? Should be of became a listed building, i can understand renovations to the stadium. The new one has no soul!

Anyone know when it became an all seater?

And to think we could of had a nice park and tower there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Should never have demolished it

I prefer the wembley stadium I used to

You can not allowed to climb into the stadium

l'Italia non ha demolito il Colosseo... Perché, Wembley, sì? .

Tartarian for sure.

They didn’t mention live aid

Should learn from german with their olimpia stadium

Aid 1986

Match of the Century: On 25 November 1953 England v Hungary 3 : 6

They should have just improved it not demolish

Would of looked like???? Learn some grammar

Progressives have no respect for our traditions, history or things we can identify with. In their quest for perfection and modernisation they would wipe out everything we know, all for the sake of money. Football was destroyed the moment they allowed companies to advertise on players, the moment money entered into the game, all the old grand stadiums that stood for over a hundred years were doomed, because their demand for more wealth was never going to be achieved in such stadiums. The advertising made the game very lucrative and then all the big money men, came in and bought everything up. There was nothing like going to Upton Park and knowing that was the home of your team for such a long time, it had a history, same like wembley, there is something nostalgic about it, but your progressive is not sentimental, it's all about modernisation, getting on for them, they don't care about past, just the future, that's why they like to label themselves has "the progressives". I know west hame fans who said no we have to move on, they didn't care about Upton Park, now we have no home, we rent. The world hasn't changed, but people have, the people today are not like the people in the past, they don't value what they have, they are always wanting more, they are never happy with their lot, they are never content with what they have. I just feel sad, that all the great stadiums have gone and football is all just about money.

Should still be called the empire stadium. No reason to change it
