2020 Vision | Arsenal Legend

I don’t remember the 1970 World Cup, I was only 6 years old so Football wasn’t on my radar.

I became aware of The Beautiful Game in 1974 - Holland, Total Football and Johan Cruff.

The game did not grip me at this stage.

1978 - Argentina 🇦🇷

This was my initiation into this mad sport.

I was hooked and still very much passionate about the Game.

Liverpool were my heroes.

European Cup winners in that epic final.

Arsenal Vs Manchester United F.A. Cup Alan Sunderland’s winner.

I think in this moment, the seed was planted that I would be a mad Gooner.

That came much later.

Year 2000.

I would see Arsenal play many times thanks to my friend Martin Levy.

They became my team.

I saw them play at the old Stadium against Bayern Leverkusen. During this game, I saw why Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry were the best footballers The British Premier League has ever seen…..PERIOD.

That night, Bergkamp scores a sublime Goal outside the penalty area.

I am thrilled to say that in my lifetime, I have seen two of the greatest exponents of Football and they complimented each other.

Thierry and Dennis are two of Arsenal’s greatest ever signings.

The fact they have both been immortalised is with glorious statues outside The Emirate Stadium is a tribute to their talent, technical brilliance, footballing artistry and their dedicated commitment to Arsenal F.C.

We will not see their like again.
