The son of the late David Rocastle will lead Arsenal out at the FA Cup final against Liverpool May 12. The club have announced that nine-year-old Ryan Rocastle will be the club's mascot in Cardiff. Arsenal have also invited his mother Janet and sisters Monique, 5, and Melissa, 12, to attend the FA Cup final as their guests. Mrs Rocastle told the Daily Telegraph: "We are very appreciative of Arsenal's gesture, to make Ryan the mascot, and also the club's attitude towards the family since David's death." Rocastle, who won the League championship with Arsenal in 1989 and 1991, died of cancer three weeks ago.
