Notably, Wenger was given the ‘Legend of Football’ honour at the annual Nordoff Robbins Legends of Football charity night. It was Sir Alex who was chosen to pay tribute to his old rival and he did so through a video stating that Wenger is ‘an absolute legend’. He also apologised to Wenger for missing out on the event and not being there on the occasion.
