Fiszman death eclipses Gunners takeover wrangle

ARSENAL last night announced the death of director Danny Fiszman, at the age of 66, after a long battle against illness.

A successful businessman, he joined the club’s board of directors in 1992 and recently reached agreement with Kroenke Sports Enterprises over the sale of his shares.

Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said last night: “Danny was a visionary director, a gentleman and a true Arsenal fan.”
