Former goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has paid tribute to Arsenal by saying that the North London club allowed him to achieve his dreams as a top footballing professional.
Lehmann, who is currently on national duty at the European Championships and has just signed for German club VfB Stuttgart, also said that he has a lot of respect for manager Arsène Wenger, even if the two didn't always agree with one another.
The German number one said: "I experienced a lot of disappointment and a kind of anger last season.
"Being substitute annoys me, as did watching Arsenal waste all of their chances to win the title.
"Arsène Wenger knows I have not been happy with his decisions. But he knows I have learnt from him. I have always felt drawn towards him.
"Arsenal will remain a beautiful experience in my life. Both on a sporting and personal level, I reached the top there."
