Two goals that showcased the genius of John Barnes. Neither scored by him.

Goal number 2 features a champagne backheel by Barnes and then a champagne dummy backheel assist by John Aldridge for Peter Beardsley’s WOOF finish, with classic Barry Davies commentary.

Oh those Black Russians

Glad you enjoyed it mate.

The best day I’ve ever had at the Emirates. Ticket obtained four days beforehand. 6.30am flight. Airport drinking. Early kick-off. United European Champions. Arsenal a mess. And they pull that out of the bag. Magic.

13 years ago today.

The freedom of youth.
