By Fiona McFarlane. Tuesday, 13 September 2005.
During July, TheFA.com teamed up with Wembley Stadium to offer fans the chance to win a prize that money couldn’t buy.
As part of ‘Wembley week’, the lucky winner was offered the chance to have an exclusive tour of the new Wembley Stadium.
Thousands of fans entered our 'Wembley Week' competition and the winner, selected at random, was Niall Meyers.
Accompanied by girlfriend Claire Salisbury, Niall was able to embark on a tour of the new stadium and is one of only a handful of people who have been able to do so.
This limited list of visitors to the site includes England legend Sir Geoff Hurst, Three Lions number one Paul Robinson, the IOC and, of course TheFA.com.
On arrival at the new ground, the pair were amazed by the size of the magnificent arch towering over the site: "It's huge and imposing, you know it will be as big an icon as the Twin Towers," said Niall.
The new stadium, has received rave reviews from both Niall and Claire: "The concourses are spacious and there is a lot of legroom."
"The stadium will be amazing when it is finished, it will be the number one football venue in the world."
