The Wembley Story 1923-1973

BBC One
on BBC One London

A special programme to mark the Golden Jubilee of Wembley.

From parkland in a semi-rural suburb of London to the largest sports and entertainments complex in Britain - that is the history of Wembley. The programme tells the engrossing story of that development - 50 years during which Wembley presented some of the outstanding events of this century.

Events such as the British Empire Exhibition; the World Cup; the European Cup; FA Cup Finals; the Olympic Games; World Title Boxing; Rugby League; Basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters; and the 1972 London Rock 'n' Roll Festival.
The Wembley story is one of amazing achievement - and the programme also includes historic film never before seen on television.
