Another reason to love Arsenal!

My friend Erin just sent this to me:

A 10-year-old boy from Sunderland, England, was reportedly saved by his rugged Arsenal replica jersey. John Hough was climbing a fence when he slipped on a spike that pierced his chest, just missing his heart and lungs, but somehow failed to penetrate the shirt. Doctors apparently credit the sturdy fabric with helping to prevent the spike from doing more damage. Said the boy's mother, "The first thing he said when he came round from his operation was: 'Mam, I can't believe my Arsenal strip is ruined.' But it wasn't and it saved his life."
