My Favourite Match

Not a Championship decider, Cup Final, champagne football or even stuffing the Spuds Gordon Ramsey style. No siree. My favourite Arsenal game occurred on the 15th of October 1983. A one-nil home defeat to Coventry City in front of 20,290 hardy souls.

It was a game I attended with my late father. Poppa refused to join me on my favoured North Bank & duly bought a couple of tickets in 'the seats'. West Stand, lower. He also borrowed Big Dave's Ford Escort for the trip that day, to ensure the whole event was as poshed up as possible.
