What happened to the ghost grounds: How football's once-great stadiums have been transformed… so can you match the present drone photos with their historic past?

IAN HERBERT: It's often that those who see our football from outside this country have the highest appreciation of the cathedrals, which have been largely ignored now. When Stuart Roy Clarke, a leading documentary photographer, wanted to produce 'The Homes of Football,' capturing our 1990s journey through the game as it came on the brink of modernization, the only publisher willing to commission it was German 'Spielmacher'. The finished product, which was released a few years ago, is stunning, but the text is in German, with an English translation tucked away at the back. Some of the best stadiums, packed with fans when Clarke depicted them, are as iconic as ever to those who remember them, as shown by Mail Sport journalist Ian Ladyman's visit to the old Maine Road center circle in south Manchester last year.

In part three of The Good Psychopath's Guide to Success, how to become a black belt in your own way. SAS legend Andy McNab and Dr. Kevin Dutton show how you can tap your killer instincts

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 14, 2024
Muhammad Ali, the boxing hero, was never accused of being modest. He was once ordered to improve his seat belt as the plane in which he was traveling was taxed for take-off. He said, 'I'm Superman,' he told the air stewards. 'Superman don't need no belt.' The stewardess didn't miss a single beat. 'Superman don't need no aeroplane,' she said, and a disarmed Ali duly buckled up. Wouldn't it be great if persuasion always worked like that? Right away. Incisively. Instinctively, the word "Instinctively" was used. However, it's often a matter of trial and error in everyday life. We get it right all the time, but we get it wrong. We are psychopaths, unless, that is. The word is often misused, as I wrote in the Mail series in 2014. Although many of our most popular murderers and serial murderers are psychopaths, the term is actually refers to a much larger group of people. They happen to have common traits that can be used in the right combination and with discretion and patience, they can achieve a lot in life. Persuading powers of persuasion, efficient nailing of goals, and the ability to identify one's own person are all psychopathic characteristics that can be useful in our daily lives.

Thousands of 49ers and Chiefs followers, including Taylor Swift, will be welcomed to Las Vegas for the grand finale in Sin City's history, Super Bowl LVIII

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 5, 2024
And for a city that has hosted Muhammad Ali fights, Formula One races, and the Stanley Cup Finals, the forthcoming Super Bowl has ranked as the highest sporting event in Las Vegas in 119 years. Adding to Elvis Presley's 1967 wedding to Priscilla and Evel Knievel's failed motorcycle ramp over the Caesars Palace fountain later this year, throw in a celebrity-laden crowd including Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and the February 11 Chiefs-49ers matchup should go down as Adult Disneyland's best spectacle, eclipsing Elvis Presley's failed motorcycle race over the Caesars Palace fountain later this year. So it's no surprise that Super Bowl LVIII also marks a historic windfall for Sin City. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the game's 68,000 viewers are expected to raise money by $600 million. In addition, Las Vegas Super Bowl Executive Committee Member Jeremy Aguero said that other visitors planning to watch the game at the city's sports books, bars, restaurants, and theaters can bring the city's economic impact north of $1 billion. That's certainly not unusual for the Super Bowl, which usually means a nine- or 10-figure bonus for the host city. According to Arizona State researchers, Super Bowl LVII had a $1.3 billion economic impact in the Phoenix area one year ago.
