Ox - I love this kid

Post by clockender1 »

what a difference to the other young kids, this is a rare interview that he gave for charity
"They aim to mould good people as well as good players at Arsenal."

Resplendent in black tie, Oxlade-Chamberlain was talking at the Emirates on Thursday before attending Arsenal’s charity ball fund-raiser for their foundation and for Save the Children. Arsenal have long had a benevolent tendency, stretching back a century when they staged benefit matches for destitute families who lost loved ones in the sinking of the Titanic.

“They do everything here with a touch of class, from the way we try and play football to off the pitch,’’ Oxlade-Chamberlain said. “They are always doing events, visiting schools, charities. It’s the Arsenal ethos, helping others and being friendly. Whenever we have guests in to watch training, Arsène Wenger steps aside from the session, makes the effort to go over and stands there for half an hour chatting.

Whenever anyone visits the training ground, all the boys make sure they go up to the guest, shake hands, introduce themselves. The same with fans if they come in the players’ lounge. I get on really well with the fans at Arsenal. It’s not hard to keep my feet on the ground at a place like Arsenal.
