“It was 1961 and I was walking down Seven Sister’s Road on my dad’s shoulders. I asked him why people were celebrating and he said “don’t worry about that son, I’ll take you to see some proper football next year.” So the next season I went to my first Arsenal game, and the club has been my life ever since. I’ve been a season ticket holder for as long as I can remember. Now exactly 50 years after first standing on the Clock End, my son plays for the team. It’s unbelievable. It’s a dream come true for both Carl and myself, I can’t tell you how proud I am of him.”
Its a dream man. My 5 year old, named Gunner btw ;), went to his first game ever and it was against Chelsea for the pre-season match last year. He got Odegaard’s match kit, he and I will NEVER forget this day for as long as we live. <3

Damn it who put these tears in my eyes?
Classic Desert Storm
Jenko’s message to his grandad outside the stadium
I love this club
This may be ridiculous but this actually made me emotional. I hope I get to share this club with my kids one day
It’s not ridiculous being emotional.
