A new series to complement our Thursday classic programme series, we will look at football
postcards from the days when people lived in sepia.
Today, a Manchester United postcard from the 1910-11 season, part of the "Strength & Health
Series". Man Utd won the First Division that season for only the second time ever, under manager
Ernest Mangnall, a year after moving to their new ground: Old Trafford.

If you watched yesterday's international friendly between the USA and Brazil then you know why
Neymar is considered one of the selecao's rising stars. A lot has been written about this
18 year old wonder kid and he did not fail to prove just why he is the centre of media attention in
his native Brazil.
Ex-Arsenal hitman Thierry Henry has switched to the MLS to play with the New York Red Bulls from
Barcelona on a multi year contract. The 32 year old has become out of favour at the Nou Camp and

summer. After all it is the first ever African hosted World Cup. And Spain hopes to be the

first time in her life.

most famous football photo of all time.
