ARSENAL vs Manchester United has provided so many memories for me and my dad.
My first game in this fixture that the world once stopped to watch — and will again on Sunday — was back in May 1983, at long-lost Highbury.
The football world was different then. I still recall vividly clutching my dad’s hand, when we went in the art-deco East Stand, as he had a bad leg. The crowd was 16,000. Yes, you read that right. For a league game between these two giants of the game.
