Gunners like you've never seen them before | Arsenal players Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Andrey Arshavin, and Bacary Sagna have given up their Gunners kits for a day to team up with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. The four players got dressed up in furry animal suits as they filmed a promotional video for Arsenal’s Charity of the Season.
The Gunners hope to raise £500,000 for the charity this season and have dubbed the campaign “Be a Gooner. Be a Giver.” Cesc Fabregas is leading the way by donating a day’s wages, and the club have dedicated their November 29th match against Chelsea as Fundraising Day.
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas had this to say: “I visited Great Ormond Street Hospital back in August so I know what this means to the charity and the patients.
“I encourage all supporters to follow our lead and give what they can. This advert is a bit of fun for the players and we hope supporters enjoy it, but there is a very real message in it about helping this Hospital and we hope to raise lots of money for this worthwhile cause.”
Manager Arsene Wenger also appears in the advert, and the Frenchman had this to say: “The team and I have met some patients from Great Ormond Street Hospital on several occasions throughout the partnership so far and we’re all struck by the strength and courage they show in fighting their illnesses.
“We understand the importance of helping to improve the facilities at the Hospital and we’re encouraging all Arsenal fans to help in whatever way they can.
“The dedicated match day highlights the work of the Charity and gives players, staff and supporters the chance to do something, however small, to help reach this target.”

Lovely, the Arse never fail to touch my heart, even when they have to dress up as animals to do it.
I just wish all football clubs could donate and help out communities like Arsenal.
