Yes this is me showing off before you all say it!

C'mon though what is your favourite Arsenal bit of treasure you have locked away?

Me I was lucky enough to watch my brother play for the mighty Farnborough in the cup at Highbury! Was a day to remember!

Anyhow little bro done good and snaffled me Campbell's and Parlour's match worn shirts plus a warm up top and socks! Nice one!

Washed and framed on my wall with a signed programme! My pride and joy!

Gus, what is your brother's name? A mate of my brother's played in that game too. He was their number 9 Joff Vansittart. He didn't actually get off the bench. Shame, as we told him to take out Kanu.

Bloody hell. Are you lying?!

He is mates with my brother (Adam), so he came over to talk to us (we were in the West Stand) in the pre-match warm up. He stunk of vic vic vaporub! He's a tall bastard, too!

What are the odds?

How do you know golden balls then?

Sorry didnt see your reply about how knew him!

Hes quite a lump but like his older brother!

Was a great day seeing him get off the coach and go into The Marble Halls.

He said Arsenal players were fantastic after the game. They all bought in champagne for them and handed them whatever kit they wanted etc.

Only shitty thing was they wouldn't let my brother take me in the player's lounge!

Nice. I've only ever spoken to him the once. I'm not sure how my brother knows him, actually. Maybe through school (he's a teacher), maybe through five-a-side, maybe through university. I never thought to ask.

As for the rest of your story, I just verified it with my brother - you're telling the truth!

According to him, Joff thought Sol was a bit of a big time Charlie because he had a shirt for the first half and then a new one for the second.

My bro isn't sure if he's met you or not, but he reckons he's been in the same room as you because he was at Joff's wedding.

How bloody weird.

No what my brother didnt understand was the whole team have a long and short shirt sleeve shirt for the game until the captain decides what one they all wear!

Im not sure if I met your brother at his wedding tho!

Shame you cant upload pictures from your pc from here as have pics of me in Sol's shirt etc.

Small world indeed!
