ROWLEY REALLY WAS AN ARSENAL LEGEND

It is called recruitment now, or development. Technical director, maybe, or director of football. All very posh.

When Steve Rowley did it for Arsenal, he was just the chief scout; but his sound judgments helped build a modern club. His first recruit was a teenager who was training with West Ham at the time, Tony Adams.
He persuaded a 16-year-old Cesc Fabregas to leave Barcelona, spotted Gael Clichy, got in another Romford boy, Ray Parlour, moved swiftly so Robin van Persie did not sign as planned for PSV Eindhoven.

Of course, Arsene Wenger's knowledge of the French market changed Arsenal too, but Rowley filled in the gaps, and more, across a career that spanned 37 years at the club. He died this week at the age of 63. Fabregas called him a true Arsenal legend.

That's a simple title, too; but it's wholly deserved.
 
Tragic on-field death, just twenty years old, Kate Moran (playing camogie, Irish field game for girls).

RIP my father-in-law. 91 years old. Lovely guy. Fell while getting in his car. Even drove home after. Two weeks ago we have watched him deteriorate so sad. He had a good innings.

Look after your relatives.

RIP Bob I'll miss you and our many chats about sports and his time in the Navy.
