    Ian Selley! He signed for my second beloved team (Dorchester Town) and was even more gash if you can credit it. I was that excited when he signed (having an ex Arsenal medal winner playing for lowly Dorch) that I'd forgotton how poo he was. Age certainly hadn't improved his tekkers.

  5. I had to google his name to find out who he was. At least I have heard of all the others <laugh>

    In my discovery days of AFC, one name was usually mentioned in somewhat unimpressive light - John Devine, a RB between 76 - 83. Played 111 games. Nothing more of note and certainly no goals to his name.

    Yeah, we were dominant in the league back then. Shame about our form in Europe.

    I always thought Christopher Wreh was big sack of ****e and one of the worst forwards we'd ever had...


    but he did score a couple of vital goals in 97-98 season, so maybe i'm being harsh

    Is your memory playing tricks with you?

    Have you forgotten we won the league and cup double in 1971 and reached 3 further FA cup finals in the 70's, also finishing 2nd in the league in 1972/73 (as high as we've finished at the Emirates).

    The 70's saw some of the best players Arsenal have ever had viz; Brady, George, Radford, Stapleton, Ball and McDonald.

    The Emirates years so far have provided some of the msot average players we have seen.

    Fair point this
    But having met Terry Neil some years ago I must say that although the Brady Team of the late seventies was a joy to watch and I followed them Home and Away
    Ultimately even Terry Neil will tell you that the 1 FA Cup they won was a very poor return for such a great side full of truly great players

  12. My friends were always talking and laughing about John Devine.

    Nobody ever talked about Ian Selley ;)
