The 44-year-old also featured for Reading, Leeds and Barnet and was a member of the Invincibles.‌Stack began his career in the Gunners' academy before embarking on a lengthy career that saw him play over 350 professional games. He retired in 2018 to pursue coaching and now helps organise boxing matches between fellow ex-pros.‌Aged 21, he was loaned to Beveren, where in 2002 he infamously came to blows with supporters during a heated match against rivals Royal Antwerp.‌Speaking on In The Mixer, brought to you by Sky Bet, Stack said: "It was a derby and Royal Antwerp are notorious for having a bit of a firm. We were winning the game 3-1 but I was getting hit by so many objects. I'm really close to the fence, a cast-iron fence. Once we went 3-1 up, I'm like, 'Right, I'm gonna pepper a few back at them.'You can listen to brand new episodes of In The Mixer on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!READ MORE: Arsenal make five stars available for transfer as Mikel Arteta issues demand to boardREAD MORE: Arsenal eye summer transfer swoop for Spain star as club chief confirms offer"So I've picked a few up and I thought, 'They are not getting through this steel gate.'
