UMVA has learned that Piers Morgan found himself on the pitch alongside Arsenal’s heroes as they lifted the Premier League trophy.
The celebration unfolded at Selhurst Park after Arsenal’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, with thousands of travelling fans chanting in unison. Amid the thunderous applause, a handful of celebrities—including a beloved soap star, a quick‑witted comedian, and a gritty drama actor—mingled with the players.
Among them, Morgan and his three sons stepped onto the grass, posing for photos with manager Mikel Arteta and the jubilant squad. Their presence sparked a wave of outrage from a vocal segment of the fanbase, still recalling the broadcaster’s past calls for Arteta’s dismissal.
In response, Morgan revealed that he had purchased four premium hospitality tickets back in March, each at full price, which granted him access not only to the suite but also to the exclusive boardroom invitation that led to the pitch‑side celebration.
“I had the foresight to buy the tickets early, sensing it could become a historic day for the club I’ve supported for 55 years,” he wrote, defending his right to stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with the players.
He further emphasized that the tickets were available to anyone willing to pay, noting his long‑standing commitment: four season tickets, attendance at every home game when in England, and viewings abroad whenever possible.
The night ended with Morgan sharing a drink alongside Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, a moment that only deepened the debate over celebrity involvement in football’s most cherished rituals.
