Fresh from becoming Arsenal’s newest captain, Sport-locker.net can bring you this awesome video from adidas showing Robin Van Persie talking about his journey through life as a footballer.

From the mean streets of Rotterdam to the World Cup final last summer, the Dutch master has clearly come a long way!

We particularly like the bit at 1:47, where you can see the young RVP busting a pair of Predator Rapiers – a huge favourite here at SportLocker!

But how do you feel about him replacing Cesc Fabregas as the Gunners’ skipper? Can he lead them to a title? Let us know in the comments section below or on our Twitter and Facebook pages.
