Ian Selley

Arsenal

Selley joined Arsenal in 1990 as a trainee and won a South East Counties League title medal and Floodlit Cup Winners medal in his first season. He made his first-team debut at the age of eighteen in a 1–0 defeat against Blackburn Rovers in September 1992. Selley played nine games for Arsenal in the 1992–93 season and fifteen games in the 1993–94 season. Injuries to several key players gave Selley his most famous appearance for the club, when he was the youngest player on the field in Arsenal's 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup Final victory over Parma. He had previously been an unused substitute in the 1993 League Cup final and in the 1993 FA Cup Final replay, both games against Sheffield Wednesday, as Arsenal won the Cup double that season. He scored two goals for Arsenal, both coming in the Cup Winners' Cup. His first came against Standard Liege in 1993–94 and his second against Brondby the following season. In February 1995 Selley broke his leg playing against Leicester City, which forced him out for most of the 1996–97 season, playing just once under new manager Wenger as a late substitute against Chelsea. Despite reports that he would be a part of Arsène Wenger's new side he was sold to Fulham in 1997 for £500,000, after playing 41 games for Arsenal in the league.

Unfortunately for him, he broke his leg a second time after playing just three games for Fulham and moved to Wimbledon in July 2000. However Wimbledon were facing…
