Osama Bin Laden And His Years As An Arsenal Fan by Nobody: 7:58am On May 04, 2011
Death of al-Qaeda leader renews interest in his love for the Gunners: was he hiding in the trophy room? shocked
Back in November, 2001, just weeks after the atrocities of 9/11, author Adam Robinson claimed in his biography Bin Laden: Behind The Mask of Terror that Osama had attended a number of matches at Highbury when he was staying in the capital in the 1990s.
Specifically, Robinson says, Bin Laden witnessed the Gunners' remarkable run to the European Cup Winners' Cup final in the 1993/94 season. So enthralled was he by George Graham's side that he bought his eldest son, Abdullah, an Ian Wright replica shirt
Supporter-run fan site Arseweb, meanwhile, took a more considered view. Naming Bin Laden alongside Fidel Castro and the Queen Mother in a list of 'Celebrity Gooners', the site's editorial team wrote that "Arseweb would like to believe that this makes North London ever so slightly less likely to become a target".
"In summer, early in the morning, after mosque, we'd come together to play football," Batarfi said. "We would argue amongst ourselves – 'this was a foul, that was a goal'. He was the only one who wouldn't argue, wouldn't fight. He would play just for the pleasure, but he refused to get into any argument with any of us.''
Another tweeted on Monday: "After watching Arsenal yesterday it was perhaps unwise for Bin Laden to rush out into his yard out shouting 'Come on the Gunners'!!"
