"Arsenal means every thing to me. I’ve been here since I was nine and I love the Club."
Jack Wilshere
“Although my professional career started two and a half years before I joined Arsenal, the way I see it is that it really began when I first came here. Arsenal kicked off the way I look at football. I came here as a young kid, worked really hard, and seven years later I’m so proud to be club captain. This club gives you the chance to grow into any role – you’re given the best possible opportunity to develop into the player you want to be. This place is my second home; everyone here, young and old, does everything together. It’s a family, and that makes it special.”
Robin van Persie
"Arsenal means everything to me. I came here when I was just 17 years old and now, at 24, I’m just not the same guy. Arsenal has given me everything and made me very happy – I want to give that back to them.
Alex Song
"Arsenal is the Club that gave me the opportunity to show myself to the world, and I will always be grateful for that."
Andrey Arshavin
"It’s a big thing for me that I’m here at Arsenal. I think the way the Club look after their players is magic. I like the way that even though Arsenal is a huge worldwide club, they have the family mentality, and treat everyone with respect. You really have the feeling you are part of a family here. When you are inside it feels like a smaller club because everyone is treated in a special way.
Abou Diaby
“It’s a huge pleasure to represent a big team like Arsenal and I hope to have a successful season with this historic club. When I was growing up in Israel, many people looked up to this club and I’m grateful to be part of it.”
Yossi Benayoun
“I came to Arsenal as a kid, so this club signifies a big part of my growth as a person and a footballer, and it is very important to me.”
Vito Mannone
"For me it’s a big love for the Club. I always felt that I tried to think about Arsenal before I arrived here, today I cannot be objective anymore. Before I came here I always thought it was a club of style, tradition and courage. That will be the three words that come to my mind."
Arsène Wenger
"For me Arsenal is a role model as a football club in everything it does, but especially in terms of three key aspects: respect, class and enjoyment. Those three words sum it up for me."
Mikel Arteta
“"Arsenal will always have a place in my heart and that is the same for so many other people too. There’s a strong sense of ‘family’ at the Club and it is why those people that leave so often find their way back, to be around that feeling and I believe that even when you go a bit of you never leaves Arsenal anyway, that is how it has been for me. I’m just so glad that I’ve been able to be part of the story of the football club. Thierry Henry 1999-2007
““Class. To me Arsenal simply means class. And I mean that in terms of the way the Club conducts itself in everything it does. It was the case when I first joined way back, and it still is now. When I joined, Bob Wall was Mr Arsenal, and he’s handed it on to Ken Friar and so on. There’s a professionalism at every level of the Club and it’s been that way for as long as I’ve known. It’s come through from the ‘30s and will continue.”
Pat Rice 1967-80, assistant manager
“It’s a massive club with great history and I want to be included in that."
Theo Walcott
“Arsenal is like a family, but I also have the feeling that this is my club, because I’ve been here so long. To me Arsenal means happiness, family, sharing and belonging.
