Former Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has died, aged 82
Former Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has died at the age of 82.The Premier League club issued a statement on their website on Friday morning to confirm the tragic news.2Born and raised in London, Hill-Wood played a key role in the formation of the Premier League and was the man who appointed Arsene Wenger as manager.

It is with deep regret that we announce the death of former chairman Peter Hill-Wood, at the age of 82— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) December 28, 2018

A spokesperson for the club said: “During his time at the helm, the club enjoyed unparalleled success. Early in Peters tenure he presided over the appointment of George Graham as manager and a subsequent, trophy-laden spell that incorporated two league titles, the FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners Cup.“That success was followed by the remarkable era of Arsne Wenger, appointed by Peter and the board of directors to some surprise from the footballing world in 1996.“Wenger went on to redefine the club and the game in this country, winning three Premier League titles and four FA Cups while Peter was chairman, including that most remarkable of achievements, the unbeaten season in 2003/04.”Hill-Wood joined the Arsenal board in 1962 and assumed the role of chairman in 1982, after the death of his father Denis.2He held the role until 2013, when he was forced to step down after his health began to deteriorate.A former vice-chairman of Hambros Bank, Hill-Wood was instrumental in ensuring the north Londoners made a smooth transition from their original home stadium at Highbury to the 390million Emirates Stadium in 2006.The statement from the club’s official website continued: “As we celebrate the unique achievement of 100 consecutive years in the top flight this season, the Hill-Wood family were at the helm for the lions share of this special century, a testament to their tenacity and judgment in ensuring we have remained a significant force in English football for so long.“Peter and his familys influence on the club cannot be understated, but at this most difficult time for his family and friends, it is Peter the man who we remember with great fondness. Our thoughts are with his wife Sally and his children Sarah, Julian and Charles.”

England fans on Twitter are convinced Declan Rice is a significant upgrade on Jordan Henderson and Eric Dier.The West Ham United midfielder confirmed his decision to represent the country of his birth in a statement on Wednesday after months of deliberation.1After an incredible start to the season, the 20-year-old will now be available for Gareth Southgate’s squad to face the Czech Republic and Montenegro in March.Rice has been one of the most consistent performers for Manuel Pellegrini this season, despite a 100million influx of summer signings.Such is his undeniable potential, fans on Twitter believe Henderson and Dier may now be surplus to requirements.Despite both men wearing the captain’s armband under Southgate, the Liverpool and Tottenham stars seem to be regularly targeted for criticism.

Alexandre Lacazette: Arsenal forward’s player profile found on Barcelona website amid transfer rumours
A profile of Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette has been discovered on Barcelona’s official club website amid rumours the France forward will be joining the LaLiga side this summer.Lacazette, who’s scored 19 goals this season, is understood to be a target for the Catalans ahead of the summer transfer window, with reports in France claiming contacts have been made between Barca and the striker’s representatives already.getty7And there was hysteria on social media when pictures of Lacazette’s player profile – on the Barcelona website – went viral on social media.fcbarcelona.com7fcbarcelona.com7This appeared to be confirmation Lacazette will be signing for the Camp Nou outfit over the coming months, as why else would Barcelona have a stats page for the France international on their website?Well, the answer is actually quite simple – and makes for brilliant reading for Arsenal fans. There are thousands of players in Barca’s database, many of whom have never played for the club, and they can all be accessed through the player profile page if you change the URL to their identifying number.Lacazette’s page was found as ID number 6899, while the very first entry is former Gunners goalkeeper David Seaman.fcbarcelona.com7Other people in the database include Frank Lampard, the Chelsea legend, as well as Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe.fcbarcelona.com7fcbarcelona.com7The IDs are clearly those of the API Barcelona use for player data, which appears to be the same API used by the Premier League’s official website. This is why Lionel Messi’s page on fcbarcelona.com can be found at ID 4974, with the same number also accessing his profile on premierleague.com, despite the Argentine never playing in England’s top flight.premierleague.com7So there is no need to be worried, Arsenal fans.
