DEATH OF ARSENAL DIRECTOR DANNY FISZMAN A SAD LOSS

I was so sad to learn that the Arsenal director Danny Fiszman has died from throat cancer at the age of 66--just two months younger than myself. When I was ITV's reporter on the live coverage of Arsenal in the George Graham title winning days it was always a pleasure to go to Highbury.After a nice welcome from George in the manager's office before the game I would always be invited to the Director's room after the match.Danny and David Dein would always be up for a long chat with plenty of smiles and laughter.Danny did a great job as the driving force in Arsenal's successful move to the Emirates stadium.He was a mult-millionaire diamond dealer and life time Arsenal supporter.He often flew fellow directors and friends in his private plane to away European Champions League matches. He was also,like Dein,a huge supporter of manager Arsene Wenger.
