'Terribly' or 'not terribly'?

Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo and Focus on Africa's Peter @okwoche debate how the nation's economy has been performing.

Reminds me of an interview I did in 2013 with the #BurkinaFaso team witchdoctor, I asked him if he could do anything to help my team @Arsenal who were not doing too well at the time! We went on to win the @FA Cup the next year. #LoveIt

This is a man called Danny Bassett - I don’t have a better picture of him. I didn’t even know his second name until recently.

He stood a couple of rows behind me at the Emirates. Always topless and always bringing the energy. We’d hug when we scored and shake hands and have a quick chat if we won.

Beyond that, we didn’t know each other at all, but he was part of my Arsenal experience for close to a decade.

Danny died suddenly last summer and he didn’t get to experience this season. I thought about him a lot today. I hope you enjoyed it mate. You’re missed.
