He finally succeeded in getting the Premier League winners medal around his neck and became the darling of Manchester United. His world at Arsenal however, had turned upside down. As loved as he was before, he became a figure that inspired hate at the Emirates.

Persie, who is now a BT Sport pundit, recently made an appearance on Sky one’s quiz show, ‘A League Of Their Own’. He was joined by James Corden, Freddie Fleetwood, Laura Woods, Tony Bellew, Jamie Redknapp and Ranganathan on the latest episode.
Comedian, Romesh Ranganathan, an avid Arsenal Supporter, was teased by host James Corden, about the presence of Robin Van Persie.
“You must be excited, as an Arsenal fan, to be on the same show as one of Man United’s greatest ever strikers,” James Corden joked.
Ranganathan pauses for a second before he said:
“You’re a pr*ck, mate.” Before adding, “He’s a great player – I just hope he sticks around for the whole show. He’ll probably go to [BBC sports show] A Question of Sport in the ad break.”
