Wembley Stadium's 100 history making moments

Wednesday 12 Apr 2023

Over the next four weeks in the lead up to Wembley’s 100th anniversary, we are celebrating some of the most historic and interesting moments to occur at the stadium.

Our 100-History Making Moments editorial features rare photography, detailing the colourful history of the stadium over the last century.

In part one we look back at the first three decades years of the stadium from 1923-1949, an era where Wembley cemented itself as one of the most iconic venues in the world.

In part two we shine a light on 1950-1979, an era that featured some of the stadium’s most iconic moments, from England’s 1966 World Cup win to Evel Knievel’s world record bus jump.  

Both articles can be accessed via our Wembley 100 hub: https://www.wembleystadium.com/about/Wembley-100

Part three and part four, detailing the stadium’s most recent history, will be live over the next two weeks. 

Grab a cuppa, take 10, and enjoy a quick history lesson on our national stadium.
