A 103-year-old football fanatic was issued with a special centenary invitation to watch the team he has been supporting for more than 80 years.

Harry Molineaux, a veteran and resident at The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home in Worthing, watched Arsenal beat Stoke 3-1 at The Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Knowing that Harry was a committed Gooner, he was issued the invitation by the Arsenal Foundation who are celebrating 100 years in Islington.

At the match Harry was presented with an Arsenal shirt printed with his personal team number ‘103’.

Harry, who travelled up from Worthing with his grandson Bobby, said: “It was a great game. It’s a beautiful stadium. I used to go with my whole family to see Arsenal. My father used to take me and I remember taking Bobby, my grandson, when he was just a young child.”

At 103 years old, Harry Molineaux is the Queen Alexandra Hospital Home’s most senior veteran.
