Happy birthday Arsene Wenger: The Arsenal boss is 64


Arsene Wenger turns 64 today, and will be hoping his Arsenal side can deliver him his ideal birthday present with a win against Borussia Dortmund tonight.

Currently the longest serving manager in the Premier League, Wenger will be looking to keep the Gunners
place at the top of their Champions League group by continuing their 100 per cent record in the competition this season.

Despite a trophy drought now stretching back eight years, Wenger's side have won plaudits this season with their free-flowing attacking play, with new £42.5m man Mesut Ozil pulling the strings.

Fans are hoping this could finally be the year Arsenal bring home some silverware - their last trophy was the FA Cup in 2005.

That followed on from the 'The Invincible' side when a team including Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira, and Ashley Cole went a whole season without losing a single game.

Wenger has won three Premier League titles, four FA Cup trophies as well as four Community Shields in a 17 year spell at Arsenal, cementing his place as the most successful Non-British manager in the Premier League.
