"That was a nightmare" - Ray Parlour admits he can't watch back infamous Arsenal defeat

Arsenal icon Ray Parlour has admitted that he still can’t bring himself to watch the Gunners’ infamous FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester United in 1999.

Despite that impressive list of highlights, one particular result still haunts the now 49-year-old - that being the infamous FA Cup semi-final replay defeat to Man United at Villa Park in 1999. Ryan Giggs stole the headlines for the ten-man Red Devils as he scored a wonderful solo goal in extra-time to seal a 2-1 victory, followed by his iconic shirt-off celebration.
