A theatre of dreams

Now there is the Azteca Stadium, Mexico city scene of Pele'’s last sparks of invention on the world stage, a final glimpse of the old Jules Rimet Cup and Maradona'’s famous goals.

Maybe the mythical Santiago Bernabau Stadium and its regal owners, Real Madrid, an institution which in 2000 was recognised by FIFA as the Club of the Century.

Some may suggest the San Siro - or to give its official name, the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - a proud footballing shrine for both the Nerazzuri (Internazionale) and Rossoneri (AC Milan).

But of course discerning football fans all know that the only place to be on a Saturday afternoon is the cauldron that is the County Ground Swindon. Jairzinho who?
