On a more somber note...
Arsenal Football Club announced yesterday that the home game against Aston Villa would be dedicated to their Charity of the Season, the David Rocastle Trust, in honour of the ex-Arsenal midfielder, who died tragically five years ago from non-Hodgkins lymphona, aged 33 (he passed away on 31st March 2001).
David "Rocky" Rocastle also played for Leeds United, Manchester City, Chelsea and a Malaysian team, Sabah. He also had loan spells at Norwich City & Hull City. But he is best known for his time at Arsenal, playing 218 league games for the Gunners, helping them to the League title in 1989 and 1991 after picking up a Milk (League) Cup winners' medal in 1987. He was also capped 14 times for England.
RIP, "Rocky." You're still missed...
