3 months agoWith photos captured by @lowernorthbank 📸 This week I had the joy of chatting with a footy enthusiast & podcaster @papapincus discussing his Arsenal story & what the Gunners mean to him. He dons the 13/14 away shirt featuring the one and only Özil #11 on the back encapsulating his first season at the club. Here are his words: “The 2013/14 Arsenal away shirt isn’t just a kit in my eyes. For me, it symbolises a turning point in Arsenal’s history, and in a strange way, my life. I started following Arsenal properly in 2011. Fair to say it wasn’t exactly a high point our history as a club. RVP was the man that made me fall in love with the club, but after he broke my little heart, to me it felt like the soul of the club was ripped out. He left a gaping hole in the squad that I thought no one was capable of filling. We had no superstars, no spark, nothing. Living in America at the time, I felt so far away from it all. I never had a true understanding of the vibes surrounding the club, how proper fans felt about the state of Arsenal Football Club. All throughout a dull 2012/13 season, 10 year old me would sit on FIFA all day transferring the best players on the planet to Arsenal, fantasising & hopelessly wishing we had a superstar at our club. And then one day, on the 1st September 2013, as hours ticked by on Deadline Day with no hope, no rumours, nothing. Arsenal set to sign Mesut Özil pops up on my TV. It felt like I was in a dream. He was one of the players I transferred over to Arsenal. One of the biggest, baddest, high profile, global phenomenons on the planet was at my Football Club. I became obsessed, I watched every interview, every analysis, every compilation, everything. September 14th 2013: Arsenal travelled to Sunderland. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve, after 2 weeks of making up scenarios in my head, imagining him scoring or assisting, this was it. My eyes were glued to the tele, wide open with nerves & anticipation, heart racing. I loved Arsenal before Mesut Özil, but that game at Sunderland, that kit we wore, that moment 11 minutes in, changed EVERYTHING for me”. #arsenal
