'I thank him for everything' - Gallas offers tribute to Wenger

The former Arsenal captain praised feels it will be strange for his fellow Frenchman to no longer be in charge at the Emirates Stadium

William Gallas has thanked Arsene Wenger for his tutelage at Arsenal as he prepares to stand down after nearly 22 years as manager.

Gallas played for Arsenal for four years and was given the captain's armband by Wenger during his time at the club.

The former Chelsea and Tottenham defender was one of many ex-Arsenal players who paid tribute to Wenger at his final home game as manager against Burnley on Sunday.
