In 1912 one of the best players to ever grace the game was born, that man is my great-granddad Ted Drake

That tenderness probably had a profound effect on my life as an Arsenal supporter.

Bergkamp transformed the perspective that others had when they saw the cannon crest.

Reflections on a lifetime supporting the Arsenal

I started to understand the passion of football and the enjoyment of winning

I knew this was the start of a love affair that would never be broken

His instinctive one-touch finishing was a valuable alternative

I'm a glass half full kind of person, which is probably why I have bladder issues

You used to find loads of little gems not priced correctly

Bacary told me he would give me his shirt (unprompted!)

He realised I couldn't take on the club but I could cause damage

For six days, every single possibility ran through my mind

A bleak future flashed before our eyes

He’d agreed to give us an hour of his time for a photoshoot and interview

How great it is that hundreds of thousands of people put their lives on hold for a few hours every Saturday

On my arrival I was greeted with more hugs, introductions and smiles

The idea that professional football existed blew my mind

Through my grappa induced headache from hell, even I could see that we were taking charge

I guess it was just not meant to be

I persuaded my Mum to spray a red-streak in my hair
