What more is there to say…
Personally just thank you both so much, I am extremely thankful to have shared the pitch with both of you for so many years. Trophies, incredible wins, defeats, we’ve been through them all together. pic.twitter.com/uNuRpqvvSn

Arsenal marked Michael Thomas’ birthday by recalling his famous 1989 title-winning goal.
It's the final match of the 1988/89 season. We have a chance of winning the title. But we must beat Liverpool. By two goals. At Anfield. No team has done it since February 1986.
We’re 1-0 up in stoppage time. Thomas is charging through the midfield. It's up for grabs now… pic.twitter.com/dBlS9MPh2F

I take huge pride in my golden boots and am doing everything I can to keep scoring goals for club and country. Some of my personal items and memorabilia are on display until December at the @MuseumofLondon which is free to enter so go check them out if you can. pic.twitter.com/x5RxthXhUA
