Ray Parlour had been a Gunners cult hero since the Premier League’s inception, but his swansong was his side’s greatest season of all and the ‘Romford Pele’ gives us his unique take on one of English football’s greatest ever achievements.
That’s not all… Jens Lehmann cemented himself in Highbury folklore in his first season in the league and tells us his memories, while the likes of Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand admire their rivals through gritted teeth.
