An aerial photograph of Manchester United's Old Trafford home in 1966, just before it was used as one of the venues for the World Cup. The stadium originally opened in 1910 but bombing by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War required a full-scale rebuild. By the mid-1960s, as Matt Busby's United side excelled in both domestic and European competition, the modern Old Trafford was beginning to take shape. The United Road (north) stand on the left was redeveloped in 1965, with a modern-style cantilever roof replacing the old roof pillars.
