PaddockLad 14585 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Am going to guess Real Madrid? Real Madrid was not content with renting and having purchased land in the northern Chamartin district of town, set about building a stadium. Architect José Maria Castell was commissioned to design a 15,000 capacity stadium and he did not disappoint, coming up with a typical estadio inglés. It featured three open banks of terracing and one covered grandstand, which held 4,000 and had a central pointed gable on its pitched roof. The Campo de Chamartin would not have looked out of place next to the great designs of Britain’s leading stadium architect Archibald Leitch. As if to underline the very Britishness of the new arena, English cup-holders Newcastle United were invited to open the new stadium on 17 May 1924, and a sell-out crowd watched the locals prevail, winning 3-2 with Real Madrid’s Félix Pérez scoring the first goal at Chamartin. http://www.estadiosdeespana.com/posts/madrid-campo-de-chamartin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't half pick someone out in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19822 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 He was teetotal and had been for years back then. I never knew that. Thought he was a raging drunk but I just read a guardian interview where he says he gave up in the late 70s. He certainly looks pissed on that clip!
