jersey 002 : goodbye Highbury

salaam all

this is my second entry regarding my jersey collections. this time it's from 2005-2006 season, a season where we all bid our farewell to The Home Of Football. it was indeed a sad and emotional day to see the King of Highbury, Titi kissed Highbury's pitch to mark his thanks and goodbye to Highbury. but we need the move to the Emirates, so i won't complaint too much

ok, that should be it about Highbury. on to the jersey now. as it was the final season at Highbury the jersey was made in a special redcurrant colour which is a very different color compared to the normal red color that always be our first jersey color. it was kind of a tribute to the 1st ever jersey that we wore at Highbury. i myself adore this jersey

on the NN, after fulfilling my wish to put in Wrighty name for my 1st ever original jersey in the season before i plan to start a new project. i wanted to pay my tribute to the Invincibles (except A$$ley H0le of course). so i started my tribute project with the player that start it all. the player that define the 'Wengerball'. he is about the only good thing Bruce Rioch did in his short tenure as Arsenal manager. for me, talentwise he is up there with the best of them all. and by the best of them all i didn't mean Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldinho. what i mean by the best of them all is Zidane, Maradona and Titi. what make him less appreciated is that he never won a major world class tournament. but he was never under appreciate at Highbury though. there was a saying that if Thierry Henry is the King of Highbury, then Dennis Bergkamp must be the God of Highbury. and that, in my opinion is very true. i will end my post this time with a quote from Marco Van Basten.

"If Ryan Giggs is worth £20 million, Bergkamp is worth £100 million."
