Always thought he wanted to come back to London and in fact used Spurs as they were available...I forgave him years ago..Him and Howard Kendall were the ones to stop Liverpool's dominance . not whiskey nose...

GG is a LEGEND. Oooops forgot there was no Arsenal before Wenger and 1997! As you were...

Yeah, I suppose anyone could be forgiven for claiming a cup final goal even though they never actually touched it....

GG was and always is a legend in my books

yes he shouldn't have been involved in the bribes but I don't think he has ever had a bad word to say about the club, don't mind that he managed the scum either, he never pretended to like them or fall to O'Leary levels.

Think the club could do with recognising the impact he had in returning us to the very top of Football, Wenger does indeed owe him a lot of thanks, seeing him at the last game of Highbury and the 125th anniversary was great, would love to see him at more games.

are you serious? he didn't touch that ball?

i found it weird when i heard someone mention eddie kelly scored a goal in that final, now it makes sense

but seriously, i watched that match a dozen times and i always thought GG pushed it towards goal

I was drunk for a solid week in 89. Rang my old man, got an advance on wages and went on the piss with a couple Gooner mates. One of the greatest times of my life.

I never saw him take public joy in Arsenal losing the way O'Leary did either.

Did you go drinking with your gendarme mates from Paris then DB ???

Agree on the Oleary Leeds match entirely !

I forgive him. And I named my first born George Graham and 2 weeks later he got the sack and then I had a son named after the manager of the scum

That's what it looked like until you view the replay from behind the sticks. Can't find it anywhere now but I remember at the time a mini-controversy about the way Stroller had "nicked" Eddie's goal. Ultimately no one really cared thanks to Charlie but quite a funny harbinger of later events...

interesting mate, i'll look for that other angle!

funny how i love watching that match and the 79 final as well and never seem to understand how the fuck we manage to win those games

No

Scammed the club and then almost got us relegated with the worst football in 30 years.
