I mentioned on here a couple of weeks ago that The Who were rumoured to be the ‘musical element’ at the last game celebrations.
Well it has finally been confirmed they are playing and Roger Daltrey, a season ticket holder, has written a new song called Highbury Highs and the club want fans to learn the words. So here you are.
Highbury Highs - written by Roger Daltrey
I’ve seen children grow
On this field of green
On this field of dreams
The years have passed away
I’ve stood side by side With London’s Pride
We laughed and we cried
We lived another day
To those Highbury Highs under North London skies
Yes we will remember those Highbury Highs
Those Highbury Days and those Highbury ways
Yes we will remember those Highbury Days
From Rocky,Ray and Raddy
To Dennis,Chippy,Paddy
The Rock of Tony Adams
The Joy of Charlie George
Chapman, Graham, Wenger
Yes we will remember
Henry,Bastin,Wright
And those record breaking scores
All those Highbury Highs under North London skies
Yes we will remember those Highbury Highs
Those Highbury Days and those Highbury ways
Yes we will remember those Highbury Days
May those Highbury Highs be with you all your days
May your Highbury Highs last forever
There?s one thing that’s certain when they drop the final curtain
Something you can bet your shirt on The Arsenal’s here to stay
All those Highbury Highs under North London skies
Yes we will remember those Highbury Highs
Those Highbury Days and those Highbury ways
We will always remember those Highbury..HIGHBURY..Highbury
Highbury..HIGHBURY
Highbury Highs say your final goodbyes
We will always remember those Highbury Highs
Say your final goodbyes to those Highbury Days
WE will always remember those Highbury Days
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE HIGHBURY DAYS
RPT CHORUS
It will be a very emotional time after more than 30 years of visiting Highbury and maybe when the day is over I’ll write a short piece for this site about some of my memories. It will be a mixture of ‘Fever Pitch’ and ‘Amongst the Thugs’
KEEP THE FAITH, WE’RE ON OUR WAY

Got to feel sorry for Pete T. though.
Who gives a shi* on Sunday it’s a party. I hope they play loud.
Hope the team wins and Sp*rs go down to the hit of Hammers.
I think it would be better for the squad to take 4th in the EPL before they go to Paris, also removing one aspect of tension off their backs.
