Former Arsenal star Gilles Grimandi was left fearing he was "going to die" after joining Gunners team-mate Ray Parlour on a night out.
French defender Grimandi joined the Gunners in 1997, ahead of Arsene Wenger's first full season as manager. He had previously played under Wenger at Monaco, and Arsenal was his first taste of English football.
While the manager made a lot of changes during his time in north London, including players' preparations off the pitch, there were still a few traditions remaining from the old days. The boozy 'Tuesday Club' nights disappeared early in Wenger's tenure, but there was still the occasional instance of new recruits getting a taste of what happened before his arrival.
