    Don Howe died today aged 80. He had a long standing association with Arsenal, being first a player, then a coach that helped us to win the double in 1971, later he became our manager, which was when I first started going to watch Arsenal. Although he wasn't very successful as manager, his contribution to Arsenal and England was immense.

    RIP Don Howe <rose>

    Always sad to see your childhood heroes die...but he'll always be a gooner legend and hopefully that'll be a great source of pride to his relatives and friends.
    Enjoy your memories of him and raise your glass and toast his achievements.

    I liked this guy....he was a proper footballing chap, talked a good one about the game and another icon of the 80's/90's when I was growing up.


    RIP <rose>
