The next instalment of Arsenal Supporting Supporters has landed!
For our Friday night fixture against Aston Villa, we’re teaming up Emile Smith Rowe with local haircutters, JNF.
JNF has been part of the Arsenal community for nearly 40 years and several of our staff members and former players have used the shop down the years for their regular trim.
The shop on Mountgrove Road in Highbury is now run by huge Arsenal fan Jimmy Patsalou, but it’s very much a family thing – it was originally opened in 1983 by Jimmy’s dad, Chris, before Jimmy took over in 2000.
JNF is named after Jimmy and his sister Flora – Jimmy ‘N’ Flora. The ‘N’ also stands for Nick, Jimmy and Flora’s brother.
A lifelong Arsenal fan, Jimmy was a Junior Gunner and he was a mascot when Arsenal drew 1-1 with Wimbledon on 1 January 1992 when he posed for a pic with then Arsenal captain Tony Adams.
As with Holding x The Tollington and Auba x Autoparts, the latest instalment is inspired by player-business partnerships of yesteryear as we recognise that it’s not just the us that is celebrating a return of fans, but many local businesses and community organisations who surround our local area.
