Thanks for the tip on listening to Mr Dein on the High Performance podcast. Could listen to his stories all day - lots of live for club and Wenger. Club really was run on a shoestring at one stage and sad Ashley Cole was a victim of that.
The start of our downfall. Loved the story about the Nod in the tunnel. Hope you all have a great Sunday and week ahead . Hopefully Arteta applies the turtle rule. ?❤️.

Hi Sy, hope all's good, mate. I'm a little bit of a book worm myself, and treated myself to David Dein autobiography a few years ago on the day it came out, and finished it in two days. An absolutely brilliant book, and a must read for any gooner. Not only an Arsenal man through and through, but a complete lover of the beautiful game. He played a massive role in removal of all fences between fans and pitches. After Hillsborough, he travelled straight up to Liverpool to meet the parents of two young sisters who, along with many others, lost their lives on that tragic day, and promised them he would remove all fencing in the stadiums.
And, along with other members of the F.A., they did exactly that. True gentleman and great guy. The book has a bit of everything, and once you start to read it you'll struggle to put it down. The mark of a good book. Take care, Sy.

Hi, Gabigoa!
Sounds like an audio book I need to get. Not a great or big reader. Enjoyed Wenger's book. Will give this a go. Interesting to hear how skint we were, yet still delivered. Plus, the board kept saying we had money. ?
