David Rocastle ● Never Forgotten ● Arsenal FC
Рет қаралды 85,743
8 жыл бұрынDavid "Rocky" Rocastle graduated from Arsenal's youth academy in the late 1980s and went on to become a double league winner and undoubtedly a fans favourite during his time with Arsenal.
In February 2001 it was announced that he was suffering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer. David died in the early hours of the 31st March 2001, aged 33. A minutes silence was observed at the North London derby at Highbury, only hours after his passing.
This year marks the 15th year since his death. Take a look back at some of his best moments in an Arsenal shirt in this tribute video.

Liverpool supporter here. Older brother is a Gooner but put me up to speed with David Rocastle when we were younger. Like me was a South Londoner. Makes me very proud to see what he did & achieved. One of the best who ever did it & criminally underrated. RIP Rocky!!!!

He was so young to die, it is so sad when a player or a person die when he is so young. And I say it not only because he was an Arsenal player, but also for Chelsea, totthenam, Barcellona, manchester United player and for all world people. RIP David

Song lyrics: You taught me the courage of stars before you left. How light carries on endlessly, even after death. With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite. How rare and beautiful it is to even exist. I couldn’t help but ask For you to say it all again. I tried to write it down But I could never find a pen. I’d give anything to hear You say it one more time, That the universe was made Just to be seen by my eyes. I couldn’t help but ask For you to say it all again. I tried to write it down But I could never find a pen. I’d give anything to hear You say it one more time, That the universe was made Just to be seen by my eyes. With shortness of breath, I’ll explain the infinite How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist.
