On this day in 2009, Emmanuel Abebayor sparked a flurry of calls into 606 after running the entire length of the pitch to celebrate in front of travelling Arsenal fans - a team he'd only left that summer.

Arsenal fans were outraged and Manchester City fans found it 'absolutely hilarious'. We dug into the 606 archive and found these two calls from 12th September 2009 to presenter, Alan Green. Arsenal fan, Josh and Manchester City fan, Paul who were both inside what was then known as Eastlands that day.

Who remembers that? Should players have respect and not celebrate when they score in front of their former club? Or did Adebayor just take it that step too far? Let us know by commenting below.
