Liverpool goalkeeper Alex Manninger catches up with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger... 19 years after signing for the Frenchman

Alex Manninger and Arsene Wenger were reunited in north London on Sunday - more than 19 years after the Frenchman signed the goalkeeper for Arsenal.

Wenger brought the Austrian to Highbury in the summer of 1997 as cover for David Seaman, but after an injury to the England No 1, Manninger went on to play a key role as the Gunners lifted their first Premier League title.

And the pair finally had a chance to reminisce about their glory days after bumping into each other before Liverpool's dramatic 4-3 victory at the Emirates Stadium.
