The Arsenal Yankee

The Arsenal Yankee

Danny Karbassiyoon had it all. He had followed his dream of becoming a footballer, and had seemingly done the impossible. Coming from a country where football was certainly not the most popular sport, he was spotted by Arsenal Football Club.

Better still he got a contract and found himself training alongside the Invincibles - the most famous club side in the history of the English League.

Like so many others before him, under the careful guidance of ArsÃ¨ne Wenger Danny made his way up through the ranks, getting occasional Arsenal games and going out on loan.

Before him was footballing nirvana and a future of fame and fortune - until injury put a stop to it.

Danny Karbassiyoon was by no means the first player to have a highly promising footballer cut short by injury. But he was one of the few to pick himself up and start again.

With an attitude of â€œanything is possibleâ€ and with the active support of Arsenal, Danny moved into a new area of life: that of a football scout.

The Arsenal Yankee is the remarkable story of one manâ€™s journey through the hopes and dreams of becoming a Gunnerâ€™s star, through the disappointment of a career cut short, and a determination to make the most of life, no matter what fate might put in the way.

With a most fulsome introduction from ArsÃ¨ne Wenger, the man who signed Danny Karbassiyoon for Arsenal, this is undoubtedly one of the most insightful stories of what it is really like to be discovered by a top club, and how life can be started again when a career-ending injury strikes.
