Highbury Legends - Liam Brady


I first started watching Arsenal in 1975 and so caught most of his career at Highbury. Liam Brady's left foot was the sole reason we really looked a decent side at times in the late 70s. Yes there were players such as Stapleton, Rix & Talbot but it was the Irishman's genius that led us to victory in the 1979 cup final and scored THAT GOAL at WHL in the 5-0 drubbing of the scum. When he left for Juventus Arsenal never did enough to keep him but none of us really begrudged him leaving to go to one of Europe's biggest sides (unlike that traitor Stapleton) - he was incredibly popular and successful in Italy - rightly showing his talent across Europe. Now leading our youth academy he is back where he belongs.
