Gerry Peyton

Gerry is now in his fifth season working with Arsenal’s goalkeepers and has enjoyed a long and varied career as player and coach, having turned out for nine clubs throughout the divisions during a playing career in which he made over 600 appearances.

He played 33 times for the Republic of Ireland and was a member of the 1990 World Cup Finals squad that made history by reaching the Quarter-Finals.
His coaching career has taken him to leading clubs in Japan and Sweden before settling at Arsenal, where he has helped the first team achieve some notable feats.

In 2003/04 the side had the best defensive record in the league, while 2005/06 saw the Gunners keep 10 consecutive Champions League clean sheets, breaking the existing record.
