Gareth Bale fired Tottenham into third place in the Premier League as his brilliant last minute goal capped a majestic performance in a 3-2 win over West Ham at Upton Park on Monday.
Bale has been in the form of his life in recent weeks and the Wales winger added another chapter to his growing legend with a brilliant brace that would surely have been appreciated by Hammers legend Bobby Moore, whose death 20 years ago was marked by a moving pre-match tribute.
Today's derby between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur will feature a minute's applause before kick-off in memory of Hammers legend Bobby Moore. It's 20 years since the West Ham and England legend passed away.
A win for Tottenham today, and they'll move into third place in the Premier League, four points above local neighbors Arsenal who have dreams of a second place finish.
At their picturesque home on the banks of the River Thames Fulham have long been a favourite of
the television broadcasters, and today we have six matches from their archive, from the 1960s, the
1970s and the 1980s. The sixties began with the club having just been promoted to the First
Division for only the second time in its history, and our first match is home match against
Nottingham Forest from November 1967.
This is it. This is the pigskin that they'll be hoofing around in the Premier League as of next
season the new Nike 'Maxim' ball, lookin' all 3D n' junk...

As the statue of Sir Bobby Moore looks on, London burns in the distance behind a desolate
Wembley Stadium. The scenes across England this week have been devastating and

boutique owner and noted footballer George Best of Manchester United and Northern Ireland fame.
What's more, Alan Ball, Bobby Moore and Gordon Banks come as a special bonus a dream Christmas gift

Some time ago, a friend and I were discussing youth power in football and how an academy brings
out talent time and again. I thought this would be an interesting topic to write on though it has
been thrown around quite a bit in the blogosphere already. But, given that it's international
weekend, Phil Jones has been prompted as a future England captain, and Jack Wilshere is causingÂ
people the age of his Dad sweat over him, it sounds appropriate to devote something to the Next
Gen.

Photographs capture specific moments in time, with the more iconic ones representing certain
splendors or symbolizing tumultuous events. The New York Times Square photo of an American sailor
