That's a terrible pity - hopefully you will fall back in love with it although the ways its going doesn't seem nice.

Paolo Maldini is my all time favourite - a legend among mercenaries.

Brady was on Irish television for years (only left when he took up the Irish job with Trapattoni) and he is known for having his ways and grumpy if anyone disagrees. As an Arsenal players at times he could be a bit embarrassing but at other times it was great cos he sticks up for the club and manager no matter what. It makes a change from the likes of Ian Wright who slag off the club and management.

Agh yes Rix and his arrest ha ha well Merson, Adams and others have had their troubles too. I think now footballers can deal with the pressure more as they are looked after better, they certainly are at Arsenal.

There has been a long list of sublime players at Arsenal, Bergkamp would be my favourite but not too far behind are Henry, Pires, Overmars, Ljungberg, Fabregas, Rosicky and now Arshavin.

Will you be shouting for Arsenal tonight?

Hi Duncan,

I'm 23 so never saw Brady play apart from videos and clips and he looked awesome. He is the one player I would love to turn back time and see play. I was at an Arsenal game recently and was talking to an old time Gunner and he told me Brady was the second best player to ever have worn an Arsenal shirt, the best was Bergkamp.

What way was he cynical? He is known for been very grumpy and somewhat of a short fuse. He is also blinded by his devotion to Arsenal and Wenger, I have seen that in interviews with him.

Interesting about Rix, can't say I know too much about him to be honest apart from what he was like as a player. I suppose everyone has a nasty side to a degree. Even the wonderful Bergkamp wasn't adverse to breaking the odd few rules :)

Cheers,
Mary

Cheers Duncan. That certainly would be living the dream. Unfortunately I think I'll be stuck in rainy England for the foreseeable future. There's always the holidays though!
