Arsenal were one of England's most successful clubs during the 1990s, a time which was punctuated by the emergence of an unsung hero and his subsequent consolidation as a reliable operator. That player was Ray Parlour. Arsene Wenger's arrival in English football heralded a changing of the guard, especially in terms of nutrition and sports science. The days of 'Tuesday clubs' and post-match pints were on the way out, replaced by health foods, cleaner living and closer monitoring of player's physical markers.

When I was still very young at Schalke and extended my contract, I could have gone to Arsenal.

I had a dinner with Arsene Wenger, a charity dinner, about three weeks ago. I asked him that question. I said, You're the boss, who would you sign this summer? Isak, he said, as quick as that.
