England v Argentina 23rd Feb 2000, Wembley (friendly)


My first England game was at the old Wembley for a wednesday night friendly against Argentina. I had been to wembley several times before for Play-Off games but it was different seeing England. I went with my Dad who picked me up from Cheltenham on his way down from Cheshire. It finished 0-0 but I still had a great experience and wanted more!

Attendance: 74,008.
Kickoff 8:00 p.m. GMT; weather dry, brisk and cool, 10ÂșC; pitch firm.

A minute's silence before kickoff was observed following the death earlier in the day of Sir Stanley Matthews. The England team and most of the Argentine players wore black armbands.
