Nice piece and shows a touch of class that he redfers to us as "The Arsenal"!

[g88ner]

good read. He's obviously proud of his time at the club... and, as he said, why shouldn't he? - he "played for The Arsenal. Not many people can say they did that."

great read and a good site also to visit.

''I was ushered to the side of the pitch to pose for a ‘still’ on camera, which was beamed out live accompanied by a tannoy announcement declaring''

Hmmm, did we have the brand named Tannoy as our load speaking broadcast unit at that time.... I suspect not...

Great stuff though, perhaps some of our current crop of wankers should read this article and learn what it really means to play for our great club.

Enjoyed reading that, nice one Juan.

That was a bloody good read.

Pity the guy didn't make it in the top flight. But at least he had a bite of the cherry. Most of us would be content with just that.

Good read, and well written.

I’ve got the video (on VHS) but still haven’t converted it to DVD or watched it back

Thanks Juan.

When is Chamakh's story debut story coming out?!?!?!?!

Great read. The current crop of mercenary's should be made to read that out loud before each game.

Just goes to show how hard it is to make it as a top level footballer, how so many come so close then fade away.

I think it was in Fever Pitch where Nick Hornby talked about Gus Ceasar and said he was probably a star all his life, best player on his school team, his local team, his district or county team, The Arsenal youth team, the reserves but then when it came to the big time he just wasn't good enough. Must be a terrible shock to be number 1 all your life then find out it's not quite enough when it matters the most...
