"I wasn't into soccer much growing up, so it was incredible to learn all about the sport and the team's history which just has so much detail," [Hester said in a postcard last week](https://www.chicagobears.com/news/mail-from-manchester-postcards-with-devin-hester-tuesday-june-16). "The stadium was incredible and you could feel how historic it is.
"Our tour guide, Jason, was telling me all about the trials and tribulations the club has faced over the years, and it was interesting to hear how they've overcome so much. Knowing some of the background, from challenging times to rebuilding their stadium, I was amazed when we got to the trophy room. It was really cool to see how they've overcome challenges and continued to be successful."
