i was there that night on the north bank singing 'you'll never play for arsenal' to David Platt. How wrong we were!

You don't often see lobbing headers. But then, there's only one Alan Smith.

Okay, there are a few Alan Smiths, but Arsenal's was the only one worth a damn.

@HexenDSK That's right. When Platt went in goal he was first given an Arsenal keeper's top to wear as Villa didn't seem to have a spare!!!

Wow, I miss the North Bank!
