Lucas Moura Talks Icons, London Life & Champions League Heroics

Murkage Dave Talks Music, Football Upbringing & Arsenal Memories

If you’re going to make it big, there will come a time in your life when you have to make a decision; a choice between passions if you are to succeed, when you will ultimately have to sacrifice one so that you can dedicate yourself to the other. And it’s certainly a truth for Murkage Dave.
