Army Jon

18/11/2013

Today it's been one year since the sad passing of ‘Army’ Jon Davies and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.

AJ went to bed on 19 November 2012, the day we beat Tottenham 5-2, feeling unwell. Unfortunately his big soft heart gave out and he never awoke.

AJ loved The Arsenal so much he joined the Royal Artillery straight from school and served his country with pride.

He was the drummer for Arsenal band Riders Of The Night. Earlier last year Jon had an operation to remove a brain tumour, yet just a few weeks later he drove from Wales to the south coast to play with the band at a charity event to raise money for a young girl. That was the kind of man he was.

The video clip below shows AJ performing with the band, on stage at The Gunners.

AJ left a big hole in our lives and is missed by everyone that knew him. God bless mate.
