Former Arsenal defender Kolo Toure has confirmed that the story of him injuring manager Arsene Wenger in his trial is "absolutely true".
FFT met the Ivorian ahead of Arsenal vs Manchester City this week, with Toure tipping City for the win. But it was at the Gunners' leafy London Colney base that he originally had a trial in the early noughties. In trying to show how keen he was, the Highbury hero ended up going in strongly in tackles on the club's two biggest players in Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry. When the ball ended up at the feet of Wenger by the touchline, an overexcited Toure made it an impressive hat-trick, taking the Frenchman out and forcing him to receive medical treatment.
