Arsenal Fired Me Over Palestine – Now I’m Suing

About this episode

Mark Bonnick discusses his firing from Arsenal and the legal battle that ensued over accusations of antisemitism.

Former Arsenal kit manager Mark Bonnick describes his ordeal after being sacked by Arsenal following 22 years at the club, after pro-Israel campaigners accused him of antisemitism despite the Football Association reportedly informing Arsenal that he had not breached any FA rules. Mark is joined by his legal representative, the human rights barrister at Garden Court Chambers, Franck Magennis. Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.
