Blackburn No2 Jensen looking forward to Arsenal clash

Blackburn Rovers No2 John Jensen is looking forward to returning to Arsenal.

The Dane is sure of a warm welcome from his former Gunners fans.

"You are always going to enjoy it when you play your former club and I am really looking forward to seeing the Arsenal fans and some of the staff I know - I didn't play with any of the players because it was so long ago," he said.

"The fans were great. When you have scored in a European Championship final the fans were looking for a midfielder who would score at least 10 goals in the season and then they bought me.

"You would expect the fans would be on your neck shouting and whistling but the respect I got from them was fantastic and even after two years of not scoring a goal they were still shouting my name.

"When I eventually scored a goal, even though we lost 3-1, the feeling was amazing when I walked off the pitch. I will always remember that day."
