60,000 fans wait back in the Emirates Stadium after the final whistle, to hear you speak for one final time in this majestic arena that you've built. And your first words are dedicated to the good health of one of the biggest rivals of your 22-year long reign. Manly tears were shed that evening.

The media too were never the kindest when Wenger sat in front of them. Yet the Frenchman was almost always generous with his time and engaging, and at no point did he have "nothing to say." John Cross from Mirror, who must've made a living with the clickbait he's published revolving around Wenger, he too was moved during one of Wenger's last pressers.

It's a sign of Wenger's class that John and the Football Writer's Association came together to gift the boss a fine Red Wine. I absolutely love the part when John mentions that the Wine "comes from 2004 so it will never be beaten."

At more occasions than one, Arsene has even personally written to fans who are going through tough times. Below is a letter Wenger wrote to the family of a deceased Arsenal fan.

There may have been a bit to desire when it came to Wenger as a manager, but as a man - invincible.
