Gary Lineker
"I had lots of fantastic times there. It was a
lucky ground for me generally. It had a special ambience and
atmosphere. My first visit to Wembley was for the 1969 FA Cup final
between Leicester and Manchester City. It was a sad day. I remember
crying all the way home because Leicester lost 1-0. I never dreamed
I would go and play there one day."
Bobby Charlton
"What I remember most about Wembley Stadium
was the pitch. When I walked on the pitch, I thought someone was
going to tell us we can't play on this - this is just too good
- it was like a carpet, a bowling green. I thought it was magic - I
travelled all over the world and I never played anywhere where I
felt so comfortable and happy. I used to feel Wembley was right -
the right place to hold really big games and I've never changed
my feelings about that. The players loved playing there - you walk
onto the pitch and the ball runs smooth."
David Beckham
"As you grow up, as a young boy, every young
child wants to play at Wembley. For me, it's the ultimate
stadium."
