Paul Davis I Hope is the right one, the provider of our eurogoals.

As for the other options
Hillier: Can`t wear it at the airport
Selley: I will break my leg
Linighan: I will break my nose
Morrow: I will be either injured, dropped or both

Wasnt Steve Bould No.5? It was a bit confusing in that era because we had like 4 centre backs as in Adams, Bould, Linighan and O'Leary still i think.

All i remember is that Davis used to wear that shirt but that was the time where George Graham like boring defensive midfielders do i think davis was too fancy and clever for his liking.

Oh yeah forgot about ol Baldy

To tell the truth i don't think he was playing much when David O was about
If only Jasper got a slip saying how wore it, oh well i guess we won't find out

This was the season before squad numbers and named shirts, so there are a lot of players that could have worn the shirt within reason but Arsenal have never had defenders wearing 4 its always been a midfield number

Can't remember the season exactly but it might have been 1992/93 - went to sp**s game and we finished the game with 4 centre backs on the pitch - Adams, O'leary, Bould and Pates (I think that was the four). Durie, Lineker and Walsh missed sitters and Wright scored in the last minute to equalise!

Its was 92-94 shirt and as far as i know Arsenal and Sheff Wed were the first teams to use squad numbers and names in the Coca Cup Final but they werent used in the league till 94-95 season. I know im a nerd for knowing this (it might even be wrong but dont think so)

Colin Pates...wow blast from the past.

Here's one...i have a vivid memory of Kwame Ampadu making his Arsenal debut as a sub. Dont ask me who it was against or WHY! lol

Just received the shirt, it was worn by our hard working goalscorer John Jensen

Probably cos the name stood out - at the time we had names like:

Smith, Adams, Dixon, Thomas, Campbell, Hayes

Nowadays, Ampadu is relatively tame by comparison
