My First Arsenal Team

[northbank123]

First Arsenal match I went to - Seaman, Dixon, Bould, Keown, Adams, Winterburn, Hughes, Platt, Vieira, Bergkamp, Wright.

9 English players and Parlour off the bench!

Some of my earliest memories were as a little boy being allowed to stay up late in the week to watch the Arsenal and seeing my favourite player of all time IWWW8 running around like a lunatic.

Funnily enough the two strongest memories are him breaking Ogrizovic's nose and two-footing Schmeichel!

[Nos89]

Jennings, Hill, Samson, Whyte, Caton, Davis, Allison, Cork, Meade, Nicholas and Woodcock.

Vs Birmingham it was a 1-1 draw. Nicholas scoring a penalty, his first Arsenal goal at Highbury. I remember being in awe of seeing the great Pat Jennings our superstar striker Charlie Nicholas score a goal. Also, having the worst cup of tea ever...no sugar, no milk, the dregs of the urn.

Tommy Caton and Raphael Meade...couple of names from the past.....they were both very average footballers

Of the lineups quoted that's the closest era to the first Arsenal team I saw live:

David Seaman, Lee Dixon, Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Nigel Winterburn, Remi Garde, Marc Overmars, Ray Parlour, Patrick Vieira, Nicolas Anelka
Dennis Bergkamp

Finished 1-1 against Newcastle with Anelka getting our goal.

Was at Highbury against Chelsea, over 60,000 there and against Derby when the crash barrier broke just a bit different to the Emirates!

I thought the scorer of one of the most iconic Arsenal goals ever had curlier hair but maybe he had one of them dodgy 80s perms but the other 2 were easy to spot
