Brian Talbot spent just two weeks of his six years with Arsenal on top of the league.
As the Gunners prepare for their North London derby with Tottenham at No.1 in the charts, marathon man Talbot admired their view from the summit and admitted: “It's good to see them back up there.”
The former England midfielder, who was ever-present in Arsenal's mind-boggling 70-game season in 1979-80, says it would be even more exciting if they were still sitting pretty at Easter. Talbot, voted in the top 25 of the club's all-time greatest players in a fans' poll six years ago, warned the Gunners will have to tether Spurs' “frightening” front three to extend their stay at the top.
