Great to See the Support for Pat Rice


I am sure all were very sad to hear that the Gunners legend, who spent 44 years at the Club as a player, coach and assistant manager, is currently receiving treatment in hospital for cancer. He is a great man and regardless of what he has done for the club, you would not wish cancer on anyone. I am so glad to see that there has been an out pour of support for Pat as he and his family go through this hard time.

Arsène Wenger has paid tribute to his former assistant, and says his "legendary strength" and "fighting spirit" will see him win this battle. I have seen hundreds of blog posts and news articles in support as well as firey response on social media. 
Arsenal launched a #GetWellSoonPat and were inundated with tweets from around the world. This was taken from the official Arsenal site:
