They don't make footballers like him anymore. 🔥👏
When Arsenal went to Anfield in May 1989, even most of their own players did not really think they were going to win the league.
Liverpool were three points ahead.
They had not lost a game since New Year’s Day.
And Arsenal did not just need to beat them.
They needed to beat them by two goals at Anfield.
By the time “You’ll Never Walk Alone” started, it already felt like the whole ground was moving.
Merson had played there before and he hated that feeling.
“Oh s***.”
“Here we go.”
Only this time, he was not really nervous.
Nobody had given Arsenal a chance.
Then George Graham held a team meeting.
“Listen, don’t go out there and try to score two goals in the first 20 minutes.”
“Keep it tight in the first half, because if they score first, we’ll have to get three or four goals at Anfield and that’s next to impossible.”
“Get in at half-time with the game nil-nil.”
“In the second half, you’ll go out and score.”
“Then, with 15 minutes to go, I’ll change the team around, they’ll s*** themselves, you’ll have a right old go, score again and win the game 2-0.”
“OK?”
The room just went quiet.
Liverpool had barely looked beatable for months, and George had just spoken as if he had already seen the whole thing happen.
Merson turned to Steve Bould.
“I’ll have whatever he’s having.”
Arsenal got to half-time at 0-0.
Then Alan Smith scored in the second half.
Then with time running out, Michael Thomas went through and scored the second.
Arsenal won 2-0.
They won the league at Anfield.
Exactly the way George Graham had told them it would happen.
Your savings will struggle to catch up with your needs because you are likely to live longer than any generation before you.
Try the maths. Take your monthly expenses, annualise them, then multiply that number by 30.
Even if you halve your expenses, the number will still shock you.
