Wenger's magic

One memory |
One memory
stands out well above all the rest though. The old stager Lee Dixon deliberately
standing all alone in the middle of the pitch, Champagne bottle in hand
surveying the scene of delirium all around him. He was taking it all in
and the more Finals you see the more you understand how important it is
to do that. Lee was there gently swigging from the bottle, watching the
screen and standing centre stage in a wall of red and white sound. I think
he wiped away the odd tear but couldn't swear to it. But I do know he
was taking it every single last detail to treasure forever. His view of
the fans must have been absolutely marvellous and it was complete honour
to be in the same place at the same time and be part of it. The big thing
about Cup Finals is you never know if or when you'll ever get to see another
one, far less take part in one. North Bank note: He stayed out there for nigh on 20 minutes, and we all sang "Lee Dixern, Lee Dixern, Lee Dixern ... ". I can't find any pictures of it, though ... |
