Arsenal keeper Szczesny: Dad always there for me

The father of Arsenal's crocked goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny proved to be the Pole's biggest support last week.

Szczesny's father Maciej, a former Poland international keeper, was the first person he phoned after his injury at Barcelona.

He said: "I spoke to my dad before the Barcelona game and then when I got back to the dressing room after I got injured - he was the first person I called. He was gutted for me.

"He was a goalkeeper so we talk about everything, we always analyse everything in a game together."
