Gunners star flies flags for culture

ARSENAL’S French defender Gael Clichy judged a comp­etition celebrating Islington’s diversity at the Emirates.
The World On Our Doorstep event saw more than 60 children from 16 Islington primary schools give presentations on multi­culturalism. Mr Clichy, 22, said : “The Arsenal team’s make-up is very much like that of the area where we play – speaking different languages and coming from a mixture of cultures and backgrounds.
“It’s great that we can come together at Arsenal and celebrate the differences that bring us all together – just like the players do on a matchday.”
The children were asked to design their own “squad card” giving their place of birth, nationality, flag, favourite food and hobbies.
