Carl Jenkinson 爷爷，希望你为我感到骄傲。卡尔．詹金森） The right back hails from a family of lifelong Arsenal fans, and completed a dream move to the Club from Charlton Athletic in July 2011. 这名右後卫来自一个铁杆枪迷家庭，在2011年7月美梦成真，从查尔顿转会阿森纳。 However, his grandfather was not able to see him play in the famous red-and-white shirt, so he decided to leave the engraved message instead. 然而，他的爷爷来不及看到他穿上那着名的红白球衣。於是他决定刻下给爷爷的留言。 “I just wanted something for my grandad,” Jenkinson told Arsenal Player. “ It has always been a bit of a regret that he has not been able to come to my games since I’ve been at Arsenal. 「我只是想送我爷爷些什麽。我加盟阿森纳了，他却不能来看我的比赛，这一直是一种 遗憾。」 “It is well documented that my dad is a massive Arsenal fan but grandad was just the same, and I was very close to him. 「我爸跟我爷爷都是有案可稽的死忠枪迷，我跟爷爷感情很好。」 “It's a regret that he has not been able to watch me, but I am sure he is looking down at how things are going for me and the fact I’m playing for Arsenal.” 「遗憾的是他不能来看我，但我确定他在天上看到了我身上发生的事，知道我现在为 阿森纳踢球。」 Jenkinson’s message lies among hundreds of others at Armoury Square and he feels an strong affinity with the Club’s fans. 詹金森的留言跟其他几百个枪迷留言一起躺在兵工厂广场，他感到自己与其他枪迷间有 一种深厚的连结。 “I am a fan of this Club and that will never change,” he said. “I am just lucky enough to have been given the ability and the chance to play for my club. 「我是这间俱乐部的球迷，这点永远不会改变。我只是够幸运，有这个能力与机会来为 我锺爱的俱乐部踢球。」 “I was going to watch Arsenal the same as the fans were and [now] just count myself very lucky to represent them as a fan who has become a player. 「我以前就和其他枪迷一样地看俱乐部比赛，而现在我想我非常幸运，能成为他们在俱乐 部里的代表，从球迷晋升为球员。」 “It doesn't come around very often and I just feel privileged and honoured to be that person.” 「这种事不常发生，我觉得自己好像获得了特权，而我非常荣幸能成为那个人。」 --- 你怎能不爱詹百万？ -- 「假装足球是一时的喜好，或是我们会挑选比赛来看， 这样继续假装下去是没有用的。」 　　　　　　　－－尼克．宏比《足球热》 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 -- Nick Hornby, Fever Pitch --
