Arsenal to unveil three statues of heroes as part of 125th anniversary celebrations



Arsenal have announced they will unveil statues to commemorate three legends as part of their 125th anniversary celebrations at the Emirates Stadium on Friday.



The club are keeping details of who the three legends are firmly under wraps until the day itself but club legends Cliff Bastin and Thierry Henry are among the favourites to be honoured.



The unveiling forms part of the on-going celebrations by the club to mark the special anniversary of the north London giants.

In May the Gunners revealed their new home kit to mark the 125 years since the club - founded in Woolwich, south London, in 1886 as The Royal Arsenal – was born.



And earlier this year the club collaborated with shirt designers Nike to produce a short film called Forever Forward.



The film paid respects to the club's past and the vision of things to come.



It featured insight from players and fans Spike Lee, DJ and producer Gilles Peterson, and striker Theo Walcott.

The Gunners have arrived in Greece where they are preparing to face Olympiakos in their final Champions League Group F clash having already qualified for the next phase.
