My dad didn't support a team but usually supports the underdog and he told me we wanted Arsenal to win. I had never seen my dad get excited about a football match before but he was going mental cheering when Arsenal scored. I wasn't interested in football until that moment, but I finally got what all the fuss was about. My mum said how my great Aunt would be pleased because they were her team (she lived in north london and my uncle was a proper londoner/arsenal fan).
After that I watched the 1990 world cup and the following season collected the panini football stickers. Arsenal were the first team that I got all the stickers for. My auntie had been sending me down programmes from Arsenal matches and Arsenal became my team. I bought the shirt, joined the junior gunners and the rest is history.
That moment turned me into both a football fan and an Arsenal fan.

The arsenal crowd's reaction says it all. It was beyond words.

When that goal went it I was leaping around the room screaming at the top of my voice...a wonderful memory.
I got the 89 DVD as soon as it came out and relived it with three Gooner Mates, savouring every minute. Only recently I watched the film Fever Pitch With Colin Firth which is about an Arsenal fan school teacher and the whole 89 experience. A must watch film!
