However, Wenger once dropped him after a drinking session got out of hand.
Parlour has revealed how the legendary Arsenal boss found out he had ended the night by headbutting a bar.
Speaking to LuckyBlock.com, he explained: “He [Wenger] wasn’t the sort of man to fall out with really.
“He’d leave you out though. I remember I got left out once because I think I went over the top a little bit in the week.
“I remember I headbutted a bar, believe it or not. I got tangled up in the stool, somehow headbutted the bar and he found out about it.
“He left me out for a game or so but he was such a nice man and he would always try to do the best for you.
“You’d run through a brick wall for him but I could argue I’d do it for any manager because I wanted Arsenal to be the best team they could be and I was an Arsenal fan.”

Parlour is known for his drinking session as a player, including one which left team-mate Gilles Grimandi fearing for his life.
He has also tucked into giant cocktails and “Cobra bombs” on social media since retiring.
The 50-year-old former midfielder made 25 league appearances during the Incinvibles campaign.
Arsenal’s unbeaten Premier League triumph was his third title and one of 11 major trophies won with the club.
Parlour, who won 10 caps for England as a player, later had spells with Middlesbrough and Hull before hanging up his boots.
