Gael Clichy played alongside Tomas Rosicky for five seasons at Arsenal, and had the opportunity to do so again on Saturday afternoon in Prague.
The Frenchman was one of a number of ex-Gunners who lined up in a friendly match between Czech and World XIs, and was quick to praise his former team-mate's qualities after the game – both on the pitch and off it.
“Football is losing a great one-off player,” Clichy told Arsenal Player. “I remember when he signed for Arsenal years ago, everyone was excited, so it’s pleasing to be here. He’s a friend, football is a game and moments like this weekend are forever.
