Football and the royals are two subjects which have always attracted very outspoken fans. Now, aged 90, Lord Norman Foster is attempting to please both.

One of the one of the world's most important living architects, he is known for being the vision behind some of the world's most iconic designs - including London's "Gherkin" building, the Millennium Bridge and the British Museum's spectacular Great Court.
