Arsenal Herts & Beds Supporters Club
Ed’s note. Just running this once more as the auction ends on 4th May. More details here, and to check how the bids are going currently, click here. Remember – 100% of the money from the auction is going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. The press release on these rather special items is as follows…
Arsenal Herts & Beds Supporters Club are delighted to bring to the Gooner community this set of ‘Imprints’. Cult heroes and current first team players have come together in aid of Arsenal’s charity of the season, the Teenage Cancer Trust. The legends of Anfield ’89 came together in Berkhamsted at the Arsenal Herts & Beds HQ to make their impressions. Lee Dixon, Nigel Winterburn, Perry Groves and goalscoring hero Alan Smith were happy to help out. It was a great honour for Herts & Beds to have such legends give up their free time and come to our HQ. The final ‘legends imprints’ are in the famous yellow and blue colours of that night and are ‘up for grabs now’.
We were then in for a great suprise when Jack Wilshere, Samir Nasri, and four goal Andrey Arshavin agreed to make their impressions. The players invited us to the Arsenal Training Centre in Shenley on 19th March 2009. After their training session preparing themselves for the Newcastle away game the players came through to make three very unique foot imprints. How do you explain to a Russian, new to the country, what you are about to do? He was very game though.
The final first team imprints will be on red and white background with a dark wood frame. They will look amazing in your home or office.
100% OF MONEY RAISED FROM THE SALE OF THESE FOOT PRINTS WILL BE DONATED TO TEENAGE CANCER TRUST.
Six of the imprints are being auctioned on ebay. Item numbers are as follows –

As stated the 89 players imprints were taken here in Potten End and the first team players were taken at the Arsenal Training Centre, Shenley.
Auctions start at £99 but we hope to achieve much more than this for Teenage Cancer Trust. Every penny raised from the sale of these imprints is going to TCT.
The imprint from Perry Groves is available to official supporters club members only via SEALED BIDS.
