Massive apologies due to living legend Lee Dixon for our not
having pointed you in this direction before.
On Monday 8th November, Real Madrid will be visiting Highbury for
Lee's testimonial.Tickets are now on sale to TRS and ST holders,
and go on general sale on Friday. See AFCi
for details. The match was originally scheduled for August 31st
but was postponed because it clashed with the Notting Hill carnival!
According to reports, Nicolas Anelka has said that he'd rather not play and he's trying to get out of it. Apparently he thinks
he mightn't get a very warm reception from the fans.
The tie has attracted some controversy, since the massive
Scotland-England tie is the following Saturday and Arsene
Wenger has said that our England stars will be playing.
Especially given the timing of the match, the day after the Tottenham game at White Hart Lane,
it's understandable that there's some eyebrow-raising going on.
But hopefully the Monday night game will be one of those
"no tackling allowed" matches, and it certainly wouldn't be
right for the likes of Seaman Adams and Keown to be missing
from Lee's testimonial! (anyone know if Bouldy's coming? surely!).
It's only fitting that such a great servant of the Arsenal should
be honoured by the visit of such a huge club, and we encourage all Arsenal fans to come and show their appreciation.
