happy birthday old trafford

The Gods themselves, Best Law and Charlton

The Stretford End back in the good old days


Theatre of Dreams
Old Trafford, home of the Gods, is 100 years old today. The first match was against the arch enemy Liverpool, on 19th Feb 1910 (Don't ask the score), and although it has changed a lot over the years with it eventually becoming 'The Theatre of Dreams' (Bobby Charlton called it that), it's still Old Trafford to me.
I have had many a happy day out there, plus some days that were not so rewarding, but there's always another game on the horizon.
It's a shame the Stretford End is no longer what it was like in the picture above, and it is now so expensive to see a game. Football may well implode in on itself at some stage, so make the most of it all now.
