My first memory of an Arsenal game.
I was 6 years old and my dads mate was round our house and it was a cloudy day. He said if the sun comes out I will take you to see the match. I was siting there begging for the sun to shine then around 2 pm the clouds cleared. We walked to Highbury which was about a 30 minute walk from my house and Arsenal were playing Blackpool. I remember being mesmorised watching the speeed of George Eastham.
I was hooked from that day. We won %-3.

Must have been a really long time ago because these days we don't use percentages to calculate scores.

5-3 sorry.

1963 if anyone's interested.
{Ed002's Note - I am still convinced Arsenal's fourth goal that day was off-side.}

LOL Sharpie
Lansra That goes back a bit. Jesus they must have had a leather ball back then.
Playing for the love of the game, not like the greedy sods today, Sanchez is the new adebayor,

I don't think adebayor could lace the boots of sanchez, one the club didn't miss the other we will.

I would like the old Ade upfront - what a waste of talent due to a crap attitude. A 442 with him and Theo would have been interesting to see.

WELSHY. Let me tell you this mate .
In them days if the pitch was wet and you headed the ball you stood the chance of concussion 😂. The ball would sponge up the water and it was like playing with a medicine ball. If you think I'm joking try and get hold of an old ball soak it and kick it around for 20 minutes. Oh and another thing was if the weather was really cold and the ball smacked you in the thighs, it stung for a day! .
Yes mate them balls were a lethal weapon. 😜.
