OK, time for a little self-publicity, and a plug for the magazine that funds this website and its podcast. Carl Jenkinson is our cover star and the editorial focuses on why the club need more players of his ilk, and the reasons why. It is interesting that there are now more British contenders for first team places than there has been since the earlier days of Arsène Wenger’s reign.
There is also an interview with Chris ‘Chalky’ Whyte. Those of a certain age will remember him as a local youngster who came into the team at centre back in late 1981, usually partnering David O’Leary. He established himself as a regular pick under Terry Neill, before the purchase of Tommy Caton and development of Tony Adams restricted his first team chances. In his final season at Highbury, he was used up front as an emergency striker. All this and more is discussed by Chris, who will be signing copies of the issue for us at the home game v Norwich in just over a fortnight. So if you buy one on Saturday, bring it along at the next home game to get it signed and have a chat with Chris about old times. More details on that nearer the time.
Also in the issue are pieces on the misuse of Andrey Arshavin, whether Ivan Gazidis justifies his salary, what being a supporter is really about, unsung heroes down the years, a trip report from Munich by legendary Gooner seller Alex plus the return of Dwight Hart-Lane. Plus all the regulars and addtional articles to boot.
Al material in the issue is exclusive to it and not reproduced here on the website. It’s well worth £2 of any Gooner’s money, so we ask you to support us by buying a copy. There are more details here, where you can also buy the issue to be posted to you for £2 plus postage. The issue will also be on sale around the ground at the home matches with Reading, Norwich and Everton.
