Statue of former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger unveiled outside Emirates Stadium
A bronze statue of former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger lifting the Premier League trophy has been unveiled outside the Emirates Stadium.
Arsene Wenger is a soccer coach and consultant, widely accepted to have modernised Arsenal FC and established the Gunners as one of the Premier League's Big Six.
"Le Professeur'' is also known for his encyclopaedic knowledge of the scouting system and Wenger took pleasure in finding bargains. Some of Wenger's cost-effective buys include Freddie Ljungberg for £3million, Cesc Fabregas for £2.88million, Kolo Toure for £167,000 and Nicolas Anelka for £437,000.
Arsene Wenger's rivalry with Alex Ferguson of Manchester United is now legendary, with the Gunners and United the only teams to win the Premier League between 1996 and 2001.
It was a rivalry borne of ego, passion and mutual respect that boiled over on and off the pitch on several occasions.
"It was chaos in the dressing room and in the tunnel. It was certainly the peak point of the controversy we had with each other on that day," Wenger said later.
He won the J-League Manager of the League in 1995 and a year later claimed the Emperor's Cup for the Japanese side. Two months later, Wenger won the Super Cup, beating Yokohama Marinos 2-0.
