I don't go
out of my way
to be stylish
;
I think it's just part
of what I have set
inside me.

FD: When I started following Ar-
senal, in the late Eighties, we were
the best team. [Fellow jockey at
the time] Willie Ryan was massive
friends with a lot of the team, and
Liam Brady was my hero from his
days with Juventus, I knew Paul
Merson, I used to go to the players'
lounge, I knew everyone. All English.
Then Arsene Wenger came in as
manager, and suddenly they were all
French, and they stopped drinking!
Nobody went to the players' lounge
any more. But by that stage I was
stuck with them…
TDN: Arsenal are famous for playing
with style, even if they don't always have
substance! How did your passion for the
team start?
