Noel Richards final live song 'Champion of the World' Wembley Stadium 1997

'Champion of the World' is the now historic, praise, prayer and worship event that was held at Wembley Football Stadium London England in June 1997. It was the last ever Christian event to be held at the old Wembley with the unique 4 sided stage interchanging bands in the centre of the pitch, (this 'all round' stage concept is now being taken to another level by U2 on their current 'No LIne on the Horizon 360 degree tour see www.u2.com).
'Champion of the World' features UK worship leader Noel Richards and others, including the now famous band Delirious. It set the benchmark for all day Christian stadium events in the future that incorporated prayer, intercession, and music, and inspired many events, gatherings and calls around the world. Noel also pioneered a similar event in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin Germany in July 2006 www.callingallnations.com. The song Champion was written by Noel, and was the final song on the day where Noel invited his friends, worship leaders in the UK, and around at world to declare Jesus Christ as the true champion of the world.
Prophet Musician Stephen Bennett of Awesome City Music produced and directed the 1hr 40 mins full length feature for Kingsway music UK, being a part of the prophetic journey of the unfolding of this vision, and working closely with Noel Richards and a large team of people.

We are sitting in a hospital bed with my husband. He just had a brain tumor removed. Our daughter was 2 when we went to this concert. She was sitting at her dad's shoulders, most of the time during the concert . She wanted us to listen to it again. It is awesome. God is awesome.

I can remember it rained outside Wembley stadium but not inside how awesome

[@paulcooper4057]

I remember that as well it rained everywhere apart from the stadium.

This brings back so many memories. We were there & it was a wonderful day. To see so many people especially young people worshipping the Chapion of the World as King of Kings will remain with me always. I've been a fan of Premier radio since Champion which is an added bonus. We celebrated our wedding anniversary the next day & going to Champion was how we chose to celebrate that year.
