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.
The former midfielder enjoyed a hugely successful spell with the North London side. He lifted three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the League Cup during his time as an Arsenal player.
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.
