You might think that punching a supporter on the pitch doesn’t sound like the smartest way for a young footballer to kickstart their career – but that’s exactly what happened to Graham Stack.

Stack was just 20 and without a senior appearance to his name when Arsenal loaned him out to Belgian side Beveren in 2002, but by the time he returned to north London the following year he could certainly say he knew what men’s football was all about.

And although he played 30 times for Beveren that season, there was one game in particular which, perhaps surprisingly, proved crucial in propelling him into the thoughts of Arsene Wenger going into the Gunners’ memorable Invincibles campaign of 2003-04.
