My main motivation for getting up to date with the Wimbledon, UK and Europe posts was so I could put one up on this most outstanding day. We were fortunate enough to know someone who could get us tickets to the Community Shield, the Premier League curtain raiser between the FA cup champions and League champions from the year before, which also happened to be the two top teams, Manchester United and Chelsea. To top it all off it was played at the new Wembley Stadium and the weather was faultless. It was a match worthy of the occasion with quality football and a dramatic finish. Players such as Wayne Rooney, Christiano Ronaldo, the Despised Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Paul Scholed, Ryan Giggs and the list went on. It was a visual feast with the stadium divided in half along the half way line into a sea of red on one side, and a multitude of blue on the other. Man U won it on the back of 3 consecutive saves from the Dutch master, Vandersar. Good boy!Wembley Match Photos
