A BRAND NEW SERIES OF FAST-MOVING, GOAL-GRABBING SOCCER CELEBRATIONS

One of the most popular goalkeepers in footballing history, David Seaman is perhaps best known for his heroic performance during England's Euro 96 campaign.

Seaman's legendary saves and winning friendliness towards the fans have earned the 6'4'' Yorkshireman a permanent place in football's history books and unbounded adulation in the hearts of Arsenal supporters.

'DAVID SEAMAN' began his footballing career as an apprentice to Leeds United. By 1990, he had undergone three club transfers before Arsenal offered a record £1.3 million – the largest sum ever paid for a goalkeeper – to buy him from QPR. It was a shrewd move on the part of the Gunners: during Seaman's first session they lost only one of their 38 League games, notching up the smallest tally of defeats in the Leagues 102-year history.

During Euro 96 die-hard football fans and one-season wonders alike were captivated by his skill and personality, the traits which led to him being awarded with a Euro 96 special Man of the Match award.

Seaman's outstanding style has finally led him to the greatest accolade of all: his appointment as captain of the England squad. A fitting tribute for the nation's hero.
