Pat Rice

[2] Born in Belfast, Rice grew up in London where he attended Gifford Street Primary School as a young boy.With this being so, Rice took his place and was a near-ever present figure in the side of that season, as Arsenal won the League and FA Cup Double.As captain, Rice had the honour of lifting the FA Cup after Arsenal beat Manchester United in 1979, as well as losing two finals in 1978 and 1980.He managed the side for three FA Premier League matches (all of which Arsenal won) and a 3–2 defeat in the UEFA Cup at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach.Upon the arrival of Arsène Wenger at the end of the month, Rice became his assistant, and played a key role in helping the club to their success in the 1990s and 2000s, including the Doubles of 1997–98 and 2001–02, and Arsenal's unbeaten League season of 2003–04.[7][8] Pat Rice started training at Arsenal at age 14 and would spend all his spare time developing his fitness and football skills.[9] Getty images pictured Rice, with his wife Betty holding son Stephen as a child, taken at their Cockfosters home in 1975.
