What's up guys?

Thought I'd give a bit of background..

Previously part of onlinearsenal community until it's recent move..

Why I support Arsenal in a nutshell..
Growing up in a Yorkshire city without a professional team meant most people pick one of the local sides (Leeds, Sheff, Brad and Barns), my Dad was a Leeds fan so I loosely followed them but was never really interested.. at a certain point in my teenage years I fell out of love with football and did not watch or play for around 3 years.

That is until I started being interested in youth football and came across Young Guns (Jamie Sanderson's Blog) and Jeorge Bird's website. From there I began to read and watch as much as I could, keeping up to date with the players and results.. this introduced me to the 'Arsenal Way'.

Seeing how the club operates made me have faith things could be done the right way. The level of professionalism and class showed in every area slowly brought back my faith in football. Over the next few years I followed closer and closer.. and the distain and disinterest I'd had previously faded.

Since then, I've started playing 11, 5aside and taken an avid interest again.. football was my first love, something I had played from such a young age. So i'll put the reason I became an Arsenal fan down to this club re-birthing my love for football 10 years ago.

Favourite Players
Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Eduardo, Rosicky, Ozil. (Honorable mention Davor Sukor)

You'll probably see me most in the youth areas, but eager to get involved in general!
It ain't easy being Jeezy..
