Images of the Past: Wembley (Review)

Wembley has been in the news as of late thanks to an offer from billionaire Shahid Khan to purchase the iconic stadium.  The offer, which could be in excess of $1.3 billion, made headlines all over the world.  Why? It’s simple: Wembley has a special place in everyone’s heart as the home of the English national team and the FA Cup.

But there’s a greater history that many are unaware of.  Maurice Crow’s Images of the Past: Wembley from Pen and Sword Books provides that history in an absolutely enchanting read.  While the focus is one-of-a-kind photography, the photos are complemented by well-written content at every step of the way.

You’ll learn of Wembley’s rich sporting history, a history that extends well beyond the beautiful game.  Wembley is the heart of English sport as a whole with major rugby, boxing, speedway, and greyhound racing all taking place on the iconic grounds.  It also has a prime history in entertainment history with major concerts assembling there over the decades.  And you can’t forget the World Cup and the Olympics.  Wembley is the heart of it all.

This book brings history to the modern day, providing a trip down memory lane for readers.  It’s quite brilliant in every regard, like visiting a museum or watching a documentary but obviously better.  You can’t miss with this one.
