As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Charlie George. It was on a tour but not a Legends Tour and we broke off following Chrlie after chatting him briefly before he warned us quite nicely that wasn’t proper and we ran back before anyone realized we’d gone fortunately
You weren't talking to him about the board, were you?
Ha Ha - should have done...
Was more like wow....wow...blah blah 71 Final...wow...wow...blah blah blah the Double...wow... blah blah yes sir (turning to run back)
That was US btw all the blah blah - can't remember much he said or we said - it was Charle FUCKING George man!
Yep, fair play.
I stuck my season ticket book in Arsene Wenger's face once looking for an autograph...and I didn't even have a pen.
My worst was the American baseballer Pete Rose lecturing me on what hand to shake with - I was SEVEN years old FFS and right-handed AND meeting Pete Rose. I was a little nervous, okay?
