That was YEARS after Rocastle was gone, but I still know who he was. Back in the 80s and early 90s it was impossible to get games on TV over here in the States so I never even saw him play a game live.
Lol I wasn't referring to anyone in particular, I was just speaking in general terms. We didn't exactly play the most beautiful football ever under George Graham, so even a player of Rocky's skill got overlooked.
ANYONE who claims to be an arsenal supporter should know or at least heard of Rocky though, no matter whether you supported the club at the time or not, whether you had seen him play or not, fair enough if it was the anniversasry of an opposition club's legend, but it wasnt, Rocky was one of ours.
Supporting, & learning more about the club you love doesnt just account for the present time, the club was around long before all of us were born.
