This year we’re commemorating Black History Month by telling the story of the figures who have shaped or are connected with our unique history with our Black community.
Over the course of the month, we’re profiling key voices from the Arsenal family and beyond.
Our final guest writer is childhood Arsenal fan, former Great Britain Olympic sprinter and sports broadcaster, Jeanette Kwakye MBE.
