Was he any relation to Sir Francis ?

By all accounts a great player...a true Arsenal legend
told he had 8 shots on goal....scored 7 times and the other effort hit the post

Just checked on Wikipedia and Ted will be 112 in 4 days' time. Can we sign him up again, or would that "kill" Havertz and Jesus?

Would be worth it just so we could watch Edu brag about offloading him in four years time. That Edu huh, what a guy!Retro Gunner wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 9:12 am

Interviewer: "So tell us Edu, why have you decided to let Ted go?"
Edu: "Well, Ted is now 120 years old and rarely starts for us, so I took the tough decision to sell him back to Southampton. That bold move has saved the club the 1936 wages of three bob a week that we were paying him. Another win from me."

However the positive news about having to 'let Ted go' is we now have a spare pair of hi-tech boots for anyone thinking they can improve on Havertz or Jesus' performances.Retro Gunner wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 9:55 amDB10GOONER wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 9:45 amWould be worth it just so we could watch Edu brag about offloading him in four years time.

They’re augie’s centre half boots, for when he was kicking centre forwards all over the gaff.
