New question. Greatest Personal Arsenal Memories.
For me there are a few but the main ones are playing on the Arsenal pitch for Islington when I was 11. Meeting Terry Neil at a youth club when he popped along I was about 12. Bertie Mee the Arsenal manager came to my school Highbury Grove and I spoke to him in the playground. My first Arsenal Stadium tour when I was 11 and remembering all the boots hanging up on hooks with the players initials on the underneath of the boots which looked like it was done with the heads of tiny nails and what about this one! Reguarly walking over to Avenell Road on a Sunday and the groundsman would probably have been working on the pitch from the previous day and the gates would more than likely be open. We would take a try and find a ball and have a kick about in the penalty box, as long as we didn't take libertys, and now and then some of the first team would have been training and we would sit and watch them . Can you imagine that happening today? Ha Ha the groundsman would have a cardiac arrest. Picture it in your mind being able to walk over to the Emirates Sunday morning stroll in walk on the pitch and kick a ball around for 10 minutes LOL. Mental!

Easy Goldboy,

Champions League home against Juventus, Year Vieira left us, tabloids all about asking a boy (Fabregas) to fill a mans shoes (Vieira) and how it was too much to ask.

Fabregas runs Vieira ragged and Pires, whilst Vieira has the ball between his feet, sneaks up behind him, gets the ball without being seen, and then tears off down the wing.

Vieira substituted soon after, with the fans signing "You used to be someone, you used to play for a real club" and "Vieira, he played for Arsenal, he's now going to win f@#k all;!".

We won 2-0 I think. Last Champions League game at Highbury.

Priceless!

Closely followed by myself and two friends being the only 3 arsenal fans at Sparta Prague (we flew out to watch the game and stayed a few days).

First half Jens chatting to us constantly as everything happening at the other end, although we did have to warn him to turn around when they were coming forward.

Then second half Henry flying towards us, us shouting shoot, he comes inside, we shout shoot again, he drifts inside another player, we scream shoot (thinking the chance had gone), he accelerates again, smashes it past the keeper then bows directly in front of us!

Cost £11 for a ticket, again Priceless.

Hi Golds, DG, G62, Jenny, Flyboy (how is Olivier, still locked in the cupboard?) Old Ignition, all the great boys from the Liverpool site, Akin and anyone else I forgot, and I hope everyone is well, and a big hi and thank you as always to the EDs.

Hi Jin, hope you are ok mate.

Gold's, for me it was that magical moment at Anfield when Michael Thomas burst through the middle of the Liverpool defence, 89th minute and slotted the ball past Grobelaar.

Can still see Steve McMahon now, raising his finger to the Liverpool players and saying "1 minute".

Priceless.

All good DG, all good.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Nervous, but for some reason think we will get the win.

For me it has to be 15th May 2004.

Sitting in the West Stand watching history be made, knowing that it will be forever remembered. Then working my way from towards the back of the lower stand to the front and getting to touch hands with many of that great squad as they celebrated. Still chanting, singing and celebrating long after the game finished
