Football: This week
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.On 6 February 1991, Cameroon became the first African team to play at Wembley when they faced England in a friendly.
The build-up to the game had been metaphorically chilly due to Cameroon's Roger Milla demanding a pounds 50,000 appearance fee from the FA. He did not receive the money and did not play.
The match itself took place on a night when the temperature was measured at - 4C, but England supporters were eventually warmed by events on the pitch. The Crystal Palace striker, Ian Wright, made an assured international debut, and his senior partner, Gary Lineker, scored both goals in the 2-0 win.
