Re: Unsung Heroes
Does Overmars count? People always talk about Vieira and DB10 but very rarely about Marc Overmars.
He may have questionable taste when communicating via text message, but I wish him well recovering from his stroke, and thank him for winning us the league in Manchester and the FA Cup against the barcodes.

Personally I wouldn't class him as "unsung", as most Gooners rave about him, and rightly so, he was a brilliant player for us.Kingralph wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 6:08 pmDoes Overmars count? People always talk about Vieira and DB10 but very rarely about Marc Overmars.

Re: Unsung Heroes
I'm going back to the 70's for my suggestion...... David Price
Re: Unsung Heroes
I will take David Price and raise George Armstrong.

Re: Unsung Heroes
Now you all know I get confused over who did this but is Overmars the inappropriate text message guy or was that someone else?DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 6:29 pmPersonally I wouldn't class him as "unsung", as most Gooners rave about him, and rightly so, he was a brilliant player for us.Kingralph wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 6:08 pmDoes Overmars count?

While Ozil could land a ball on a postage stamp poor old Yaya struggled to get it in the right postcode. But he did win the FA Cup though.Stuart L (2) wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 9:49 pmThat’s probably because he was meant to deliver itPerryashburtongroves wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 9:43 pmNever received the credit he deserved as a postman.BobbyPires7 wrote: ↑ Yaya Sanogo.

Absolutely. There was a period not too long ago when I thought the last decent corner we had was delivered by him in 1989.
