THE "I WAS THERE" THREAD
What fantastic Arsenal achievements have you witnessed in person?
I'll start off with...
- David O'Leary breaking the Arsenal appearance record vs Norwich in the early 90s.
- Henry scores 4 vs Leeds at Highbury.
- Milan 0 - 2 Arsenal in the San Siro
- Roma 1 - 0 Arsenal (Arsena win on pens.
Over to you chaps....

The closest I can come to was the 3-2 game in 99 at the Bridge? Kanu hat trick. My first game.
Nothing of real importance. Saw a few games in the 49 run though.

That was my first ever visit to Highbury - me and my mates went up there as they were showing it on the big screen. I was 12, it was absolutely hammering down but the north bank was packed.SWLGooner wrote:Actually none Cheers Arsene.frankbutcher wrote:What fantastic Arsenal achievements have you witnessed in person?

2-0 down at half time, absolutely soaked, but then the second half came and we won it 3-2 - that day was absolutely magical

Was just gonna say are we on about the same game? But fair enough. Didn't know they were showing it at Highbury.worthing_gooner wrote:That was my first ever visit to Highbury - me and my mates went up there as they were showing it on the big screen.

2-2 away at West Ham when Henry hit this:

2-1 v Villa when Pires did this:

1-1 v Lazio in Rome when Grimandi hit that Serbian bloke for making racist comments to Vieira.

The best i've been to is Arsenal 4-0 Everton, title clincher 1998.
No where near as good but still memorable was
- Man Utd 0-2 Arsenal FA cup Quarter final 2003
- Arsenal 2-1 Sp*d FA cup semi final 2001.
Also Arsenal 4-2 Southampton in 1995/96 I realised what a talent bergkamp was,
And the last game of that season Arsenal 2-1 Bolton when bergkmp fired us into europe with yet another wonder strike.
