Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is up for today's clash with former employers Arsenal.
Fed up always being Arsenal's reserve stopper behind compatriot Wojciech Szczesny - apart from in the domestic cups - his priority after seven years in England was to get regular first-team action.
The Pole said: "I've had a lot of up and downs. There have been good moments and some difficult moments.
"Arsenal gave me the opportunity to step in at the top of football and come to the best league in the world. I'm very thankful to them for that.
"But Swansea have given me what I have always wanted - the chance to play regularly and to be the first-choice keeper at a Premier League club.
"For me it really is a dream come true. I'm very happy."
