That first 20 seconds is gold...."Alan Smith is worth a million pounds, so say Chelsea...Smith however is looking to attract an even bigger club." #Arsenal

[@mrkipling2201]

John Ewen I thought exactly the same thing!!

[@vinnysamways63]

And yet Arsenal use to be a big club too.

Hard to believe that's Dennis Wise with the strawberry blond mullet-like hairdo, but it is. 'Ere, that Vince Jones character could play a bit every so often, couldn't he? He wasn't JUST a midfield enforcer, even if that was his main job.

[@YeOldeFootballChannel]

That 4 for Wimbledon looks good... whatever happened to *Vince* Jones?

Winterburn with his 80s pop singer look.

Gary McAllister's early exposure as a future star midfielder for Scotland.

[@mrkipling2201]

To be fair to Alan Smith, Chelsea were probably no better than Leicester back in the mid 80’s. In fact they would both get relegated in the next season or so. So I’m not surprised he waited for Arsenal to register their interest.

[@viktory06906]

He even turned down United and Sir Alex, to join Arsenal, because he had already given them his word, according to himself.

[@MrJonno85]

For a side heading for relegation, Leicester had some good players.

[@gavanthornton4484]

You wish the TV companies of the day would focus on the referee when booking or sending off players rather than show a replay of the foul.

[@raynaldomarchel2231]

is it Martin tyler voice?

[@mikedowns8293]

Nigel Winterburn... sporting the perma-mullet

[@roedgroedudenfloede]

[@thelstanedwardsson4374]
