Gunners announce Fiszman death

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 tonight: "Danny was a visionary director, a gentleman and a true Arsenal fan." The club also acknowledged Fiszman's efforts in helping the Gunners move from Highbury to their new Emirates Stadium. Hill-Wood added: "We are all deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend Danny. His voice, wisdom and presence around the football club he so dearly loved will be sorely missed. "Arsenal Football Club will forever be indebted to Danny for his invaluable foresight and contribution during the move from Highbury to our new stadium. "Our thoughts at this time are with his wife Sally, family and friends. We have lost a much loved husband, father, grandfather and friend."
