On this very special episode of The Arsenal Opinion Podcast, we welcome My Arsenal Life author Martin Wengrow — a lifelong Gooner with over seven decades of matchday stories, transfer heartbreaks, and pure red-and-white devotion under his belt.

We dive into:

• What inspired the book and the role of co-author David Fensome

• Martin’s early Arsenal memories and the traumatic punishment that nearly broke his fandom 😢

• Inside stories of missed signings — including Dennis Law and Danny Blanchflower

• The parallels between George Graham and Mikel Arteta

• His glowing take on Miles Skelly and why he’s unlike any youth prospect we’ve ever had

• The emotional highs, the bitter lows, and everything in between

This episode is a love letter to Arsenal Football Club through the eyes of someone who lived it, challenged it, and never stopped loving it — even when it didn’t love him back.
