The captain of Arsenal's 1988 FA Youth Cup winning team, David became a most efficient performer in the Gunners midfield.
After undergoing a knee operation in the summer of 2000 to resolve problems he had encountered in the final months of the 1999- 2000 campaign, David then had the misfortune to suffer a broken toe in the treatment room. He eventually returned to the Bristol Rovers first team at Swindon in October but managed just three starts during the season. He is an experienced central midfield player who is comfortable on the ball and is an expert with dead-ball kicks.
