A 65-year-old Arsenal supporter and his 25-year-old son will be in Budapest for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The fan’s allegiance began in April 1969 after a Pathe News bulletin showed the League Cup final between Arsenal and Swindon. Swindon won 3-1, with Don Rogers scoring two goals in extra time. The supporter later became devoted when Arsenal won the league and FA Cup Double in May 1971. He contrasts Arsenal’s pain with the heavier burden of supporting Swindon for 57 years.
