Arsene Wenger praised his former assistant manager and Arsenal stalwart Pat Rice after he was awarded an MBE in the Queen's New Year Honours list.
                                                        Rice made more than 400 appearances for the Gunners as a player, helping the club win the league and cup double in 1971.
                                                          After spending the final four years of his playing career at Watford, Rice rejoined Arsenal in 1984 as a youth team coach, and was appointed as Wenger's No.2 when the Frenchman took the helm in 1996.
