Arsenal fan Daniel Bull was in Mayfair nightclub Tape
‘I was thinking what the hell is going on?’
Daniel Bull has waited his whole life to see Arsenal win the Premier League and it is fair to say that the 22-year-old from north London will never forget the celebrations on Tuesday night. Having found himself sharing a bottle of champagne with Ian Wright as thousands of supporters gathered outside the Emirates Stadium, the devoted Gunners supporter and two close friends took a gamble as the party was petering out.
“I had just heard a whisper,” Bull says. That whisper was that Arsenal’s players were gathering at the exclusive Tape nightclub in Mayfair after they had watched from the training ground as Bournemouth drew with Manchester City to crown the club champions for the first time since 2004. An Instagram video later posted by Noni Madueke’s mother showed the England forward returning home to much acclaim before immediately announcing, “I’m going out.”
One of Bull’s friends was reluctant to try their luck after the Tape bouncers refused to confirm whether the players were inside, but Bull paid what he describes as “not the cheapest” entry fee. His hunch was proved correct when they immediately bumped into Arsenal’s set-piece coach, Nicolas Jover, the man credited with a pivotal role in the title success.
