I’m been up and down with football, but still it’s a national sport and always will be. Even England team won just one World Cup, but do got a great league called Preimer League as well three Championship league and other leagues that called non-leagues. Also there FA Cup and League Cup. Manchester United is my team. Of course there other teams. But only team I care are Manchester United & England National Team (Yeah, this blog about British but when it comes to national team, I’m an England man). As my footy heroes (That British), Sir Bobby Charlton, Ryan Giggs, Wyane Rooney (Yeah some will disagree), Stanley Mathew, Sir Bobby Moore, and he as greatest footy manager, Sir Alex ferguson. Yes, there players there that was long time ago but they were great in these days, hope there players like them today.
