Arsenal Quote by Tony Adams
“In 1987, I was captain of Arsenal and England's centre-half. I walked down Oxford Street and not one person bothered me. Not one. Today I would be mobbed and asked for selfies. That has brought a level of fear to today's player and with that fear he has become detached from reality and the public.”
