Was that you who told us about that? I remember hearing it first on here.
Yes, I was working at The Sun and me and couple of Arsenal fans were chatting with the journos who had heard a rumour that he'd been seen at Arsenal training ground. We'd also heard a sniff a few days before.
I referred your tip to a friend who had a friend that worked at Shoot magazine. He came back and assured me that it was total nonsense- at exactly the same time as Sol walked out at the press conference

Although, it was less politely phrased but the look on their faces when it was confirmed was priceless.
My mate, a fellow Gooner, was driving us back from Whitechappel to Hackney listening to some Pirate ragga station. The Sperz supporting DJ broke the news and he was fuming. The then played that song that goes "In for drink in a chi-chi man bar / Fire make we burn dem."
He responds to his rivals getting Sol on a free with some West Indian homophobia.
What a time that was! Much appreciated, despite the abuse (was that you or somebody else?).
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
