lol, pretty good that like
Wembley Stadium...
Architect (Brains): Sir John Simpson (English)
Head Engineer (Brains): Sir Owen Williams (English)
Builder (Brawn): A company named after a Scottish dude.
Always happy to help
From your link...
'Initially named the Empire Stadium, the Wembley Stadium known and loved from 1924-2000 as the home of English football was designed by architects Simpson & Ayrton with engineer Owen Williams...'
Architect: Simpson
Engineer: Williams
Is that not what I put?
Again, glad to help
Sir John William Simpson KBE FRIBA (President of the Royal Institute of British Architects from 1919 to 1921) had an apprentice-come- lacky to make his tea and communicate with the expendable, hired help, knuckle-headed builders, named Maxwell Ayrton.
Aryton was adept at communication, which was written about eruditely in Sir John’s memoirs, ‘The control [he]exudes on them [Scottish hired help] whilst making a monster brew; was beyond compare. He lest the adroit pencil-craft to me; which having seen his scribbling, was deemed an astute move’
Lesson over; we’ll say no more about it.

This match is not being played at the ground named after an Englishman (John Hampden) but at the ground of a club formed by an Irishman (Celtic).
Scottish football; something a nation has to be proud of
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Coz Wembley was designed and built solely by Englishmen
What a dobber
We won the World Cup there you know, in 1966 I think.
Only it's never mentioned.

Just logged on Aye, only read thru the thread now
Unlike most English, I am looking forward to this. Also, unlike most I believe whatever team we put out, be it the strongest or not we are in for a tough test.
I like the home internationals.
It's not a back down
I've yet to go the the new stadium, was a regular visitor to the old one with the World Famous Nottingham Forest.
Terrible view, miles away from the pitch. Brilliant
Also my favourite Forest player was John Robertson. Can’t remember where he was from though
Indeed.
I saw my team lift both European cups
Ahh, halcyon Days indeed, then it all went t!ts up
Billy Davies the little Scottish twát
No offence
Kenny Burns was one hard motherbitcher too
