I've been an avid Gooner since 1971, when as a 10 year old I watched my first delayed telecast of an FA Cup Final and saw my namesake play Right Full-Back in the victory over Liverpool. What a game!!!
From that moment I was hooked.
Since then I've ridden all the highs and lows of supporting a football team from afar.
In the early 80's I was lucky enough to visit Highbury twice, the first in March 1981, watching us defeat Liverpool 1-0 and the second in May 1984, seeing a young Gary Lineker playing for Leicester City and getting beaten 2-1. Two weeks later I went to Watford and saw us lose 2-1 in the last game of the season. In 1984 I was also lucky enough to see Arsenal play a Testimonial Game at The Valley against Charlton Athletic where George Best played the whole 90 minutes for Charlton. That was a special night.
Emirates beckons............... :-)
