June 2007 -
England v Brazil, Wembley
Glen and I amazingly scored tickets to the first senior international game at the new (rebuilt) Wembley Stadium, England v Brazil. It was a fantastic night. The crowd was excited and enthusiastic, it was all so well organised and with players such as David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard and Kaka (to name just a few) on the pitch it was bound to be fabulous. England scored in the second half and we thought they had it in the bag but Brazil came back in injury time. A shame for England not to win but a great experience to have been there.
