    I remember this moment so well, had just finished year 11 and my GCSEs, sitting at home kicking my heels, watching Sky Sports News and it had been said all morning that Richard Wright's press conference was coming up.
    But that moment where they cut to it and Sol Campbell walked out is a memory etched in my mind; genuine stunned silence.
    Because nothing is a secret nowadays, you can pretty much guarantee there will never be another transfer like this in the history of football. I thought he was off to Bayern Munich, but now, for better or worse, you'd have the likes of Fabrizio Romano and social media on the case.
    This transfer is one of the many parts which makes the 2001/02 season my favourite as an Arsenal fan; even with the likes of the Invincibles season, etc.

    Sometimes you have to make a big move and history shows he made the right decision he became an Arsenal legend and invincible and Wenger got the best out of him.
    In the meantime, the Spuds still have not won the league it's now 61 years since they last won it thank God I was born in Islington!
    I have to say the club has never replaced David Dein he was just as important as Wenger he made things happen he got the right people in we still miss his influence at the club. Thank You David for all that you did.
