Final Words. 

During this Lockdown, I hope you’ve all enjoyed either reminiscing or having history lessons, about my fantastic memories of my life as an Arsenal fan. 

I would like to thank all the Gooners, who’ve sent me so many nice e-mails and messages about this blog. 

Especially, the relatives of my dear friends who have fallen along the way. 

I would like to dedicate this blog to all my family, closest friends and fellow Gooners, but mainly to my Brother, George. 

Without him taking me to Highbury in 1957, none of this would have happened. 

Albie & Myself bought George a “Memorial Brick” at the Arsenal. 

It was the least I could do. 






George & His Son, Peter.

“Seasoned” Old Gunners.




Most of the Original North Bank Boys, who first met in 1965, no longer attend Arsenal games. 

However, we have twice yearly reunions and often get another old face pay a surprise visit. 

Here are photos of some of the Old Gunners and Gooners, that I’m privileged to call my mates.
