Ryan Garry back in the squad

For the Carling Cup game away to Everton, it is nice to see Ryan Garry back in the squad.

As many will no doubt be aware, Garry has spent the best part of three years on the sidelines due to terrible shin injuries. At the time he made his debut for Arsenal (at the start of our unbeaten 49 game run) he was a very highly rated youngster. Now he is a lot older, and has seen younger players come in and develop. It must have been a frustrating time to say the least.

I have always been impressed with his attitude while he was out. He gave a couple of interviews to Arsenal TV online, and in those it was clear to see how much being at Arsenal meant to him, and he wasn't going to let the chance of playing for Arsenal slip him by. You got the impression that he would play on one leg if that's what it took!

He deserves a lot of credit, and it is a shame that other young English players who have come and gone couldn't show the same attitude.

Lets hope he gets a run out tonight to make all his hard work worthwhile.
