	Guardian \| George Armstrong
		George Armstrong, the former Arsenal winger, one of the heroes of their famous 1971 League and Cup double side, and latterly reserve team coach, has died suddenly after collapsing on the club's Hertfordshire training field, aged 56.
		In an age when the traditional winger was due to disappear, "Geordie" Armstrong, as he was always known, was the winger par excellence, able to play on the right or the left, two footed, and an unselfish creator of chances for other people with his accurate crosses.
		Typically, in the cup final, Armstrong popped up on either flank and very nearly scored when, on the far post, he surged powerfully in from the left to meet a right-wing cross from John Radford.

		Secondly, as 2005-06 in English football 2005–06 is the last season that Arsenal will play at Highbury, the team's shirts have temporarily reverted back to the original darker red, or "redcurrant", to reflect the colour worn in the first season at Highbury, in 1913.
		The original stadium was built by the renowned football architect Archibald Leitch, and had a design common to many football grounds in the UK at the time, with a single covered stand and three open-air banks of terrace terracing.
		In addition to the usual English football chants, Arsenal's supporters sing "One-Nil to the Arsenal" (to the tune of "Go West") and "Boring, Boring Arsenal", which used to be a common taunt from opposition fans but is now sung ironically by Arsenal supporters when the team is playing well.

		Scot Alex James, famed for his long baggy shorts, won four league titles and two FA Cups in the Arsenal side of the 1930s, and his ability to do the unexpected at inside-forward was matched by Jimmy Logie, a creative force in the 1953 side.
		Charlie George and George Graham added flair from deep to the 1971 side, George with his ability to run past people and score goals out of nothing, and Graham for his uncanny knack of opening up defences.
		George Armstrong was the protective cover for the defence in Bertie Mee's team, a wall of perseverance that Patrick Vieira replicates in the modern day.

		THE death of our reserve team manager, George Armstrong, who collapsed at the Arsenal training ground and later died from a brain haemorrhage, was heartbreaking.
		He was an 'old school' footballer, as anyone who knew him would assert.
		Bill Shankly's comment: "Football is not a matter of life and death: it's more important than that" was obviously tongue-in-cheek, but after a week like this, you are reminded that your own personal worries about selection, injuries or even winning, are part of a much wider picture.
