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.

Those are the words of Rocastle.

Tony Adams said "play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they'll remember the name of the back".

Both are favourite quotes of mine.

Is it an anagram of Paul Davis and David Rocastle? :wink:

I have a picture at home of Rocky with that quote on it so it's attributed to him whenther he said it or not!

Seriously though, I always thought it was George. Was a little bit surprised when I saw all these banners and stuff popping up attributing it to Rocky. I could be wrong though...
