Wembley hammered by German machine

A GERMAN excavator known as Goliath yesterday bit into one of Wembley’s twin towers as the demolition of the stadium’s world-famous landmarks began.

The mechanical digger began its assault on the dome of the west tower just after 2pm following a short ceremony which recalled the stadium’s illustrious past.

German-built Goliath, driven by avid Arsenal fan Gabriel Ford, 40, was expected to make good progress on the west tower yesterday.
