    Just thought it was worth a mention that it is 10 years ago today that tragically David Rocastle aged just 33 died from cancer,for those too young to remember he was on our books from 1994 to 1998 and played about 40 games in the 94/95 season scoring a few goals and was a smashing player who was forever plagued by injury.
    I find it quite amazing that he was an Arsenal legend and there is no mention of him today on the Arsenal board,very sad.
    Rest in peace Rocky we loved you at Chelsea.

    Rocky was an Arsenal legend. I find it a bit sad that you feel the need to point out that there was no mention of his anniversary, but that's your prerogative. All the same David Rocastle will always be remembered as a shining light at Arsenal, a player who brought skill, flair and imagination to the game. Gone but never forgotten <ok>

    Played for Leeds too, albeit less successfully. RIP Rocky.

    Is this a tribute to Rocky or some kind of ****wit attempt at a wind up? Because the two aren't mutually compatible.

    Listen knob, I thought it was worth a mention to remember an ex player of ours who has sadly lost his life to cancer and just thought that as he was a great player for your club somebody on your board would have thought it was worthy of a couple of lines,but YOU were the one who started the insults by suggesting I was home all day and had nothing better to do,get a ****ing grip your meant to be a mod.

    No, I suggested that it hadn't been mentioned because people have jobs to go to and might not have been around earlier. You mistakenly took that for a personal insult and started throwing your toys out of the pram, making silly little 'cleaning the toilet' jibes. If you want to come on our board and make a tribute to Rocky then that's fine, if you want to turn it into a childish little spat then you can ****ing do one <ok>
