Colin Kazim-Richards admits he'll be back to supporting Arsenal when they face Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, just days after knocking the Gunners out of The FA Cup.

The Blackburn Rovers star grew up in east London as an Arsenal fan and even trained with the club as a youngster before going on to play for the likes of Bury, Brighton, Sheffield United and Galatasaray.

But when he notched Blackburn's winning goal at the Emirates on Saturday to cause the Fifth Round's biggest upset, he insists it was strictly business.

He said: "This is what I get paid to do.

"I was here as a schoolboy, so my connections are to Arsenal, I am an Arsenal fan. I love Arsenal.

"I will be supporting them again. I will have my Arsenal top on, and I will be there in front of the TV, but you know this is work."

The 26-year-old says it was still a strange moment for him though, with friends and family in the crowd to see Michael Appleton's team secure their place in the quarter final.

He added: "I used to train under the Clock End at Highbury on the indoor pitches, so for me to get the goal is amazing.

"You dream of stuff like this and for it to come true is amazing.

"My dad was in the crowd, he comes to every game so for him to see it was great. My mum was there too, so for them it was a nice day."

Kazim-Richards is currently on loan at Ewood Park from Galatasaray, with his long term future still uncertain.

And Rovers will be back in the capital for the Sixth Round, when they play Millwall at the Den but the Turkish international says they are concentrating on their league form before then with a big match coming up against Hull on Tuesday. 

"We have to take this into Tuesday's game, because coming to places like this, no disrespect, is much better than going to certain places in the Championship," he said.

"These are the players you want to play against and test yourself against the best.

"And it's nice for the Blackburn fans, to give back because they have had a rough time, everybody knows what's gone on so it is nice for them to be able to celebrate."
