Arteta dedicates Champions League’s win to Arsenal icon

Mikel Arteta has dedicated Arsenal's Champions League victory over Lille to the club's lifetime president, Ken Friar OBE, who died yesterday aged 92. Friar devoted his life to serving Arsenal and remained a lifelong supporter. He followed the Gunners and would have loved to watch the Lille match. Arsenal marked his passing with a victory and will seek to build on his legacy at the Emirates. Born in Islington, London, Friar attended school around Highbury as a child. He began working part-time for Arsenal in 1946, aged 12, beginning an association that lasted nearly a century.
