Mark Schwarzer has revealed that Fulham refused to let him sign for Arsenal in 2010.
The Australian became a fans' favourite at Craven Cottage, spending five years at the club between 2008 and 2013 after spending the past 11 at Middlesbrough.
His reliability had impressed Arsene Wenger and the Gunners were keen to bring him to the Emirates Stadium in 2010.
The 44-year-old said on MOTD2 Extra: "It happened to me, when I was at Fulham there was a lot of talk about Arsenal coming in for me.
"I was adamant I wanted to go and the club just refused to let me go and it took me two or three months at least to get over it, and even then I still never really got over it."
When asked 'did you feel resentment', he jokingly replied: "Oh gosh yeah, to anyone and everyone!
"No it was the manager (Mark Hughes) and above, definitely, because they were the people who didn't let me go.
"I was 37 years old so it was a different situation [to Philippe Coutinho], and at the end of my career."
Schwarzer signed for Chelsea in 2013 and was given a replica Premier League winners' medal in 2015 before repeating the feat at Leicester City a year later.
