Anonymous asked: Did you see Jensen score?
If only, if only! I remember it happening, but I wasn’t there, unfortunately.
Back story: John Jensen was a Danish midfielder that Arsenal signed in the early 1990s. At his old club, and for the national team, he was known as a goal-scorer from the middle of midfield, but he didn’t live up to that reputation whilst at Arsenal.
He used to shoot really often, but it would never go in. It became a joke, eventually, and I think it was something like 130 games into his Arsenal career before he finally scored. Away at QPR, if memory serves.
This moment entered into Arsenal folklore, and immediately there were t-shirts made up with the slogan “I was there when Jensen scored”. I think I’m right in saying that they sold many, many more t-shirts than the actual number of fans on the night…
