Matt Turner admits that had you told him this time last year that he’d be playing European football for the team he supports, he wouldn’t have believed you.
But fast-forward 12 months and there he was, charging around his goalmouth at Emirates Stadium, fists clenched celebrating the goals that beat Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. It was the reaction of a Gooner playing for the club they love, living a dream come true.
Now an ever-present in our continental campaign, the American shot-stopper will once again be itching to walk out in his new home against PSV Eindhoven in a crunch game that will go a long way to deciding who tops the group.
