Paul Merson in "501 Arsenal Goals"

[jackshakespeare]

6.00 remain in the top 6 and in that area without... what?

[weatherallc05]

gareth bale is basically the equivalent of this guy but you know bales talent aint gonna be wasted. well, actually it well cos he will never get to play in the world cup. 150 million pound? hmmm so how much does that make iniesta, ribery and arjen robben who are all infinitely better

[REDHALFOFMERSEY78]

i remember one thing about Paul for Arsenal in those days....almost all his goals were clinical finishes or goal of the month contenders.

I agree - his vision AND technique were well ahead of its time, he was deservedly nicknamed 'Magic Man' and if anything, i would not hesitate to have him in my all time greatest Premiership XI.

[weatherallc05]

his shooting was fucking insane

[Ochola90]

Wish he managed to get 100 goals for Arsenal instead of being stuck on 99 lol....

[UncleMikeNJ]

1:55, GREAT pass from Rocastle, superb goal from one of the best marksmen of that era. Now just a shadow of his former self -- he must be, if he wants Harry the Twitch to be the next England manager.

[ArsenalFFS]

LEGEND!

[wazo89]

always will be my favourite player.such a shame booze and coke meant he never fufifled his potential.

[jonathandvcrane]

the Graham team

[jonathandvcrane]

i think winterburn (Cliche could nip in here too), keown/bould/, adams, and Dixon (Thomas Vermaelen could slot in next to Adams or Keown) were the best back four we have had in recent history, but the Graham was not the best.

[Dungarth]

Yes if the ''Magic Man'' Paul Merson would have kept himself clean he could have been a great player from England as well as Arsenal, his vision and technique was long before it's time. hence why we called him the magic man.

[Natoyle93]

Served him dinner last night, guy is halarious! hes been through some very rough times in his life but is truely a ledgend

[weatherallc05]

@Natoyle93 no way man

[anelka10]

Merse is a legend

[DaveBond21]

Great goal by Merson at Wembley in the 1993 League Cup Final against Sheff Wed.

[arsenal2death]

legendary gunner

[wazo89]

if merse hadnt been a alcoholic you'd off seen one opf the best ever english players in history

technically brillaint was magic

[markie1979]

I too grew up watching Merse ,Rocky,Thomas ,Smith and all those from87 on wards brings back good memories

i would love to have seen a GG side against AW sides what a match that would have been

Merse was a Legend on the field

[allodi1980]

i agree with joeryan. Best arsenal team was back in the graham days. English, maybe 1 or 2 foreign players (limpar !!!) good old days. It'll never be the same

[Kowalski101]

At his peak, this guy was one of the elite players in Europe. Would walk into any Arsenal team, ever.

[mugcheese]

the turnip man

[Badassmoafo]

coke head

[JoeRyan33]

The Arsenal of George Graham - still the best clubs we've ever had, they'd have murdered Wenger's team, hands down.

Seaman, Dixon, Adams, Bould/Keown, Winterburn, Thomas, Rocastle, Merson, Limpar, Smith, Campbell/Wright

You can stick your Henrys, Anelkas and Vieiras up your arse.

We love you Merse.

[G4eva]

I grew up watching that team but I dont agree with you.

[Rigerdaby]

you just must have something against french (Viera greatest center Midfielder EVER to play for arsenal and maybe in EPL)

[padsterp]

i have to say i agree with G4eva, that was the team that i spent my formative years supporting, heros all, but I think technically Wengers sides would have the edge, if they were all in their prime though, Id pay any amount to watch that match, would be momumental.

[bluepeteruk]

Very good player in his day but has no idea what he is talking about as far as football is concerned, lately on sky sports he is always making mistakes and his predictions are amongst the worst ever. Total clueless pissed up tosser who ruined Walsall football club !

[littlegun21]

Merse is my favourite player

thanks for uploading

[gfc9chard]

I'm no Arsenal fan but he was one of the greats, my favourite non-Gillingham player of all time. Finally got to see him play a few seasons ago when he was at Portsmouth and he did'nt disappoint. He completely ran the show.

[kalcom2]

The Merse and Rocky, loyal gooners.

[Bernard666]

brilliant player for arsenal and england!! love to see the goal he scored against liverpool!

[sprostongreen]

I'm a Man U fan, hence I h8 arsenal, but Merson was class

[basilcruncher]

respect the merse

[tra789]

that goalie with the hat looked like a pizza delivery guy

[bexgooner4life1984]
