Arsenal 'legend' Emmanuel Frimpong wears 'Dench' on the back of his shirt... but is subbed 20 minutes into debut

From Javier Hernandez to Sergio Aguero, players having a nickname on the back of their shirt is nothing new.

But former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has taken it a step further, with the Ghanaian international starting life at his new club with his catchphrase 'Dench' on his jersey.

Frimpong, who came through the academy at Arsenal but played just 16 games in all competitions before being released, made his debut for a new club this week.
