Arsenal icon Tony Adams made his debut in the British version of “Let’s Dance”.
He then dressed in red and performed an Arsenal-inspired tango.
The London Club wrote on Twitter: “We love it.”
Tony Adams With 672 appearances, four league titles and three FA Cup titles in an Arsenal jersey to his résumé – he’s the name of the big poster for Britain’s fall season of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
He danced last Saturday night for the first time — and immediately stole the show.
Lifted on the cannon
Dressed in red shorts, a white shirt and a red jacket, the 55-year-old was lifted to the dance floor seated on an old cannon – just like the one in the Arsenal crest.
And yes, he had the number six on his back as well.
To the tunes of the classic “Gunners” Nothing in Arsenal Adams and his dance partner Katya Jones were offered a full tango to the taste of Arsenal fans.
The London Club wrote on Twitter: “We love it.”
I got the lowest score
The success among supporters but with the referees was lukewarm.
Adams scored 15 out of 40 – the lowest among all competitors.
“I have no idea how to dance,” Adams said after debuting.
My old teammates think I’m a little crazy to join, but they say I’m brave because I tried.
Tony Adams has been loyal to Arsenal throughout his career. He hung up his boots in 2002 and since then has coached teams in England, Spain and Azerbaijan.
He’s been open about his alcoholism, and at the turn of the millennium he founded a charity that helps athletes with addiction problems.
