Sir Alex pays tribute to 'absolute legend' Wenger

An array of stars from the world of football and entertainment attended a glittering event in London on Monday, when the ex-Gunners boss received his 2019 Legends of Football award.

Wenger, now 69, was the guest of honour in recognition of his illustrious football career and work with the Nordoff Robbins charity, which uses music to enrich the lives of people with disability.

Remarkably, guests at the event collectively raised £521,000 for the cause.
