I do not want to go into a waffle about how much about Cesc, but I will write a little (until I stop).
Now I feel I have been on a bit of a journey with our former captain. I remember hearing of us signing him and before we knew it he was being played in a Carling Cup tie against Rotherham United, becoming our youngest player. In the next round against Wolves at Highbury I watched live, a young Spaniard score a goal in a 5-1 demolition.
Cesc really came to promise in 2004-5, he was given the number 15 shirt. He started the Community Shield and the Premiership opener against Everton. Fabregas showed maturity beyond his years and playing brilliantly. Cesc also sported a rather disgusting mullet hairstyle throughout the season until he won his first and only winners medal in the FA Cup Final, a game in which he started.
I could go through and through his career…From his first Champions League goal against Rosenborg, single-handedly giving us closure that he is indeed better than Vieira, single-handedly coming on against Villa and winning the game for us, his assists OH MY HIS ASSISTS, his goals against Spurs, his performance against his current employer, nutmegging Savage and my biggest memory personally was the day after he scored against Sunderland.
I drove past him on the Ridgeway in Enfield and I shouted at him “GOOD GOAL YESTERDAY” He gave me the dirtiest look I have ever seen. Was so funny.
Goodbye El Capitano and have a fantastic career. I am going to miss you.
Watch this and drool.
