Tony Adams and the rest of the team have helped bring an 8 year old Gooner out of a coma. Haitham Nori was unconscious for 20 days but woke after tapes of family, friends, and Arsenal staff were played to him.

The Arsenal tape was recorded in the dressing room by the whole team plus Arsène Wenger, Pat Rice, and Gary Lewin, and delivered to Haitham in hospital by Adams, although of course the lad was oblivious to the fact. Haitham was taken for a kick-around with the players and said "I can remember people shouting `Wake up Haitham', `Up the Gunners' and `Come on Arsenal'.

Reports that Adams has subsequently been seen walking across the Thames have not been verified.
