Phil Costa (centre) has a habit of watching Arsenal beat Manchester United

When did you start supporting Arsenal and why?
From the moment I was born, really! My grandfather came to England from Cyprus in the early 60s and picked Arsenal - that was that.
We're all Arsenal fans in the family apart from my godson who has somehow strayed into the Liverpool corner. But I'm working on that.
What was your first Arsenal match?
I'm sure I'd been to one earlier, but the first match I truly remember was Arsenal 2-1 Bolton (2002). I was six years old and will never forget going up the steps at Highbury and seeing the stadium, the pitch and everything just feeling so big. Kanu scored a late winner as well, which is always a plus.
Who was your first Arsenal hero and why?
Unsurprisingly, it was Thierry Henry. I was extremely spoiled to have that Invincibles side in my early years, but in a ridiculously stacked squad, Henry always stood out for me. His physical qualities, his technical qualities - he just had this aura on the pitch and I loved watching him.
Who is your favourite ever Arsenal player and why?
Again, it was probably Thierry Henry for the reasons stated above. But I absolutely loved Cesc Fabregas and he was absolutely beautiful to watch in full flow - although his departure still leaves a slightly sour taste. Mesut Özil, Alexis Sánchez and Santi Cazorla also hold strong places in my heart.
What’s your biggest Arsenal regret/disappointment?
The Champions League final and I don't think I'm alone in that. I remember being allowed to stay up to watch those matches on ITV and I loved every minute of it, only to have my heartbroken in the final against Barcelona. I think I cried when Wayne Bridge scored against Arsenal at Highbury some years prior, too.
What is your favourite Arsenal memory (away from the pitch) and why?
I've got a couple. The experience of being in the stands at Old Trafford when we beat them away in the FA Cup (thanks Danny Welbeck) was so fun.
The atmosphere among the travelling fans on the coach was brilliant and I actually sat next to the United fans in the stadium, before being pelted with beers and abuse - but I didn't care at all.
The other is the video of Arsenal fans celebrating the FA Cup win in 2014 across the world. We're a huge club and it's easy to forget sometimes how much it means to everybody, whether you're from Archway or Zimbabwe.
What is your favourite Arsenal match?
Some big contenders here. I've been to a couple of 5-2s against Tottenham, I've seen us beat Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.
The FA Cup final in 2014 almost gave me a heart attack but I will always treasure our win against Barcelona in 2011.
That Barcelona team was untouchable under Pep Guardiola and even though we rode our luck, I loved that we had a go at them in our own way, and what a night it was for our football club (and Arsène Wenger)!
