When Adams was asked if he kept any souvenirs from his professional football career, he smiled and said: "I gave everything away and only kept the medals. I want to leave them to my children. I have a lot of kids (six) but luckily a lot of medals too. I don’t need these things, they are all in my head and heart. "

This moment touched everyone present, and from the back of the room came a cry that once echoed at Highbury Stadium: "Oh, oh, Tony Adams."

He laughed when he heard it: "You have written many wonderful songs for other players, and what I got was 'Oh, oh, Tony Adams.' ”

That’s the beauty of Adams: His chants may be quickly forgotten, but his football legacy will forever remain in people’s memories.
