Herve King Tribute

I was Herve's Captain for his 1st under 15's sunday league football team, Rosedene Rovers FC and remember the 1st day I arrived for training. Herve was so welcoming to me, I was shy and unsure but just wanted to play football and all Herve had for me was praise even though I was very nervous and making loads of mistakes he said to me ''at least you have the guts to try'' and that has been a mantra for the rest of my life. I had the honor to play football with and socialise with Herve for 5 years, he showed respect to me and my family and my mum would always sponsor him in charity events!!! the biggest regret I have is the fact that I could not make his funeral as I was myself in hospital having an operation but that won't stop me remembering him everytime I watch his beloved Arsenal. Herve always said to me I was the greatest captain and goalkeeper he had ever seen, so I would like to take this opportunity to hand over my past captaincy to the true heartbeat of our former club, the biggest lover of the greatest game I have or will ever know, Rest In Peace my friend.
