		Born in Lewisham, south-east London, Rocastle, a fast, skilled, powerful outside right who won 14 caps for England, was one of three fl players from the same area who played a crucial part in the Gunners' success in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
		Rocastle, the clever playmaker Paul Davis and the powerful midfielder Michael Thomas represented a new and positive trend at Highbury, following, in a sense, on the Irish "tendency", as represented by David O'Leary, Frank Stapleton and Liam Brady.
		Rocastle joined Arsenal as an apprentice in August 1983, turned professional with them on December 31 1984, and remained at Highbury until, deeply against his wishes, he was transferred to Leeds United in July 1992.
