"I made my debut at Anfield such an iconic ground. You don't get much more daunting than one of the best stadiums in the world. A few days before, George Graham told me I'd get my chance and, honestly, I just tried not to think about it too much, because I wouldn't have slept with all the nerves and excitement."
"The Everton game, when we clinched the title, sticks out. We battered them and Tony Adams scored with a lovely half-volley. I put in one of my best performances that day, running my socks off, even though I didn't score. I won Arsenal's player of the season that year that's no easy feat up against Dennis Bergkamp, Marc Overmars and Nicolas Anelka. But I played my part in an iconic season."
Ray Parlour made his professional debut at Anfield in 1992 in a Liverpool 2-0 Arsenal First Division match. He spent 13 years at Arsenal, amassed more than 450 appearances and scored 32 goals. He won nine major trophies with the club and developed into a leadership figure under Arsene Wenger. He played important roles in the 1997–98 Double campaign and the unbeaten 2003–04 Invincibles season. He delivered a standout performance in the title-clinching 4-0 win over Everton in 1998 and earned Arsenal's player of the season that year.
