Career in pictures – former England striker Bobby Zamora

Arsenal moved to the Emirates Stadium at the start of the 2006/07 campaign, but didn’t suffer defeat at their new ground Alan Curbishley’s relegation-threatened West Ham visited in April 2007.

And it was Zamora who became the first man to score a winning goal against the Gunners at the Emirates when he timed his run to perfection to chip over goalkeeper Jens Lehmann just before half-time.

Here he is pictured celebrating with defender Anton Ferdinand, and this result may have been the catalyst for West Ham, who won four of their last six games to avoid the drop.
