I will always remember Charlie Nicholas’ debut, first game of the '83 season. Beat Luton 2-1, was so excited to see Charlie, he played pretty well I recall.
He never really really set the world on fire for us unfortunately, and will best be remembered for the League Cup final win in '87.

Mine is the last game of the old North Bank
It was my dear father’s last game he attended.
Ian Wright beat Alan Shearer to the golden boot .
If I remember rightly Arsenal beat Southampton 4-2 and Ian Wright scored possibly one of his greatest Arsenal goals ,
Seamen collected the ball and threw the ball to Wrighty and Wrighty took off and went and went then blasted the ball past … Tim Flowers ?
I can’t remember fully but I remember seeing my ol’dad with tears in his eyes .
Another memory from Highbury was , and very much forgotten goal was Anders Limpar lobbing Grobbelaar from the halfway line .
Phenomenal goal , one very much forgotten about .
Fabulous memories in these difficult times .

Lovely memory that, Ash.
I’ll bet your old man had some stories to tell about Arsenal from way back when!
And @giner I can’t believe you were actually at that fabled game in 1958 against the Busby Babes. That game is held in folklore!

One thing I really miss is the team running out on a midweek match.
Hate this side by side handshake thing. The anticipation before they appear never left me from a kid to an adult.
