    In the 1998 FA Cup Final, Arsenal beat a star-studded Newcastle side led by Alan Shearer.

    Ian Wright, the great gunner of the 1990s, spoke to the magpies' striker about those years with Gary Lineker as moderator in a virtual chat.

    The legendary striker revealed the intriguing methods employed by Arsene Wenger upon his arrival at the London club in 1996. He said he was ahead of his time: "We used to get vitamin injections directly into the arm."

    Alan Shearer - half serious, half joking - said, 'We should get the FA Cup because the Arsenal players used drugs. To which Wright joked: "It would be the only way you could win the FA Cup medal:

    Wright qualified his words and claimed that there was nothing illegal. "These are things that everybody knows now: B6, B12 pills, nutrition and training..." he stressed.

    However, the historic England striker admitted that not everyone was equally willing to take them: "We were used to ending up on the floor throwing up the pre-season. Vieira, Bergkamp, Petit and Anelka were taking them, but we English lads thought... 'What's this?'. In six weeks you'd see the results.
