'Big shoes for anyone to fill, playing for Arsenal under Arsene was one of the best period of
my career, 2 premiership, 2 FA cups, The invincibles, playing with some of the best
assembled players, influencing millions of fans in Africa to support this great club are some
of the memories that come to fore today but above all the privilege to have played for a
gentleman like Wenger is most cherished.
