Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he used to sell cigarettes in his younger days before he went on to guide the Invincibles squad during 2003-04 Premier League season.

Arsenal was famously known as the 'Invincibles' as they won the 2003-04 Premier League season while remaining unbeaten throughout the season with grabbing 90 points.

Reflecting on his childhood, Wenger said that he grew up in a pub that one couldn't see from the windows because of the smoke and he spent his youth selling cigarettes, the Guardian reported.

Wenger further said that times have changed as society has had an evolution, adding that one of the positives today is the fact that people don't smoke any more in public spaces, the report added.
