Arsenal ace Andrey Arshavin admits among his heroes are Russia's cosmonauts.

Arshavin admits he's fascinated by the former Soviet Union's space program.

He said: "If I had a time machine I would like to go back and speak to Yuri Gagarin [Soviet astronaut and the first man in space].

"I would be very interested in what he was thinking just before he was launched into space. I believe his thoughts would have been unprintable!"
