'MR ARSENAL' WINS FAN OF THE MONTH

Arsenal supporter Keith Martin has won the prestigious Barclays Fan of the Month Award for November. Muswell Hill based Keith clocked up an astonishing 4,000 miles last month alone watching his beloved team, and owns a ticket stub and programme for every game he has attended since 1963. Referred to as 'Mr Arsenal' by fellow supporters, 50-year-old Keith never misses a fixture home or away including pre-season, and has followed the Gunners for 40 years all over the world. The only game he has missed was Arsenal v Leeds in 2000, a fixture that coincided with the London Marathon Keith was running for charity to support his father who has Parkinson’s Disease. Needless to say he ran round the 26 mile course as quickly as possible, and managed to get back home and watch the second half.
