While Arsenal was not a powerhouse in the 1980s, winning just the English League Cup in 1987 and the League Centary Trophy in 1988, they provided one of the most iconic moments in English football in the last year of the decade. The 1988/89 English First Division (now the Premier League) title went down to the wire in the final game. Both Arsenal and Liverpool were challenging for the moniker of Champions of England, and in the last game of the season, they played each other; in injury time at the end of the match, Mickey Thomas scored for Arsenal to secure the title on goal difference over Liverpool in dramatic fashion.
Craig Bell happily talks about sneakers or as he calls them "trainers" every day of the year. An avid Bradford City fan, he's also a big supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles. He will forever profess that Cricket is better than Baseball and that Rugby League is better then Rugby Union. Among his many hot takes, he believes the adidas ZX range is the pinnacle of sneaker design.
