“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
I was given the car would you believe as a form of security I suppose, I did not actually drive as part of the job, simply from Islington/Haringey to Old Street and back.
There was a few incidents where alarms had gone off and the keyholder at the time was sometimes based in Canterbury so they hit on the plan of giving me a car and when he alarm thing happened I would nip in and sort it out. Only ever went in the once and 3-4 of us piled in with assorted household implements with which to protect ourselves, but to no end purpose as it was a false alarm.
Few times of course there was alarms but I simply failed to respond as I was out of the house. No mobiles of course.
Win win.
