Adios Bobby

// May 25th, 2006 // Arsenal FC

Arsenal announced today that fan favorite Robert Pires has decided to leave the club in favor of a move to Champions League Semi-Final opponents, Villarreal. The Spanish club offered the 32 year old midfielder what Arsenal would not; a two-year contract.

Super Bob scored 84 goals in 284 appearances for the Gunners, including several clutch goals against Spurs – the 2001 FA Cup Semi-final stands out in my mind.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say he’ll be missed.
