Where has all the loyalty gone? by AH
Gone are the days where it was often to see ‘one club’ players who stuck to their first club and often grew attached to the club as a fan.
Tony Adams is the perfect example that everyone thinks of because he was the heart and base of the famous successive Arsenal teams. His passion, strength and spirit held the team together, pushed us all the way and he was almost like a second manager to the team.
Thierry Henry may not be a ‘one club’ player, however his love for the club is still recognised and he has said many times that he is a fan, something that doesn’t seem to matter to Van Persie. Remember that picture you took Robin? You know the one with ‘Number 1 Fan’ displayed across your Arsenal shirt…
Anyway, one person who is overlooked for being loyal to the club is Arséne Wenger. No matter what you think of him there’s no doubt that he, too, loves the club, he is loyal and he’s trying his hardest to do what’s best for the club under the current board. When he arrived from Japanese club Nagoya Grampus Eight he was virtually unknown and I’m sure many fans questioned where the club was going. 15 years on and he’s taken the club to a new milestone. Reaching legendary status by winning 2 doubles, an unbeaten season and a Champions League Final as well as various other English trophies and awards.
Le Professor has turned down the Brazilian national team, the French national team (twice) and arguably the most prestigious club in the world in Real Madrid (twice.) They are certainly difficult offers to turn down. It shows that, unlike some of the players, he doesn’t give up in difficult times. yes we have not won a trophy in 7 years but he hasn’t given up, like so many have and, like Wenger, we should continue to believe and, you never know, the spirit that all the fans have on match day may just pull the players together and make us successful once again.
Show your spirit, your loyalty and most importantly the love for the club you support.
