Separated at Birth

For last night's game, I sat in an area of the stadium I'd never sat in before (West Upper, about 10 yards up from the goal line...level with where RVP missed that chance in the first 5 minutes).



On the concourse walls as part of the Arsenalisation process, there is a row of framed photos of every club captain in Arsenal's history up to Fabregas. Our captain in the mid-1970s was English World Cup winner, and midfield terrier Alan Ball, known for his short stature and highly visible hair.



This is the picture they have of him....and I've placed it next to another photo who I reckon is a doppelganger for Ball.






























Damian Lewis, star of Band of Brothers and Homeland, and (according to Wikipedia) a Liverpool fan. He also takes a decent penalty (from 07:19 in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNnpEmWG9_U ).



Nerves of steel facing pretend Nazis or Jamie Theakston. What a hero
