David Danskin had tried without success to start at football team at the Woolwich Arsenal factory in Kent but when former Nottingham Forest players Fred Beardsley and Morris Bates joined the workforce the dream was finally realised. Those three were were part of a group of 15 who each put 6d two and a half pence! The early plan was probably to have little more than a kick-about between friends with no leagues around at the time and little thought of proper pitches and playing in the same colours. On December 11th they played their first match, probably calling themselves Dial Square which was the part of the factory where many of the players worked, and beat Eastern Wanderers away in Millwall. Two weeks later - on Christmas Day - at a meeting at the Royal Oak pub a works team - I would guess more of a piss-up than a board meeting! The first goal came from William Gallas and the third from Thierry Henry both born on 17th August and in-between them Sheffield United's Phil Jagielka born 17th August scored an own goal. The perfect conclusion would be to say the match was played on 17th August but sadly no - September 23rd There are a selection of records for our top home attendances. The record for Highbury was set on Saturday March 9th when 73, passed through the turnstiles for a Division 1 match against Sunderland. The two outstanding teams of the period met in what many saw as a championship decider. They drew - Arsenal went on to claim their hat-trick of League championship with Sunderland finishing runners-up they were to win the title the following season. The Arsenal line-up that day -. Moving on to the Emirates the highest attendance was recorded on Saturday November 3rd for a Premier League match against Manchester United. There will never be many empty seats for matches against Manchester United and on this occasion there were fewer than normal with the crowd totalling 60, The match ended , United finished as champions that season, Arsenal were third. The Arsenal team -. At the time Highbury had a crowd limit of a tad over 38, and would have been less for European matches due to the front rows being closed due to the outsized advertising hoardings used at Champions League fixtures. Each of the six matches at Wembley attracted crowds of over 70, with the best being 73, against Lens on Wednesday November 25th But Arsenal weren't at home at Wembley, losing against the French champions Lens, and didn't manage to progress to the knock-out stages in either season. Arsenal's team against Lens -. They entertained high-flying Leeds United in their last but one match having not won at home since December and the Thursday night match clashed with the televising of Liverpool's European Cup-Winners Cup Final against Borussia Dortmund - live football on TV was a rare treat in those days. Cardiff City in is the answer to the age-old quiz question of who were the only club to take the FA Cup out of England. Perhaps a more difficult question would be who did Cardiff beat in the final? It was Arsenal. Both Arsenal and Cardiff were aiming to win their first senior honour on that day in April but despite having 13 internationals between them the two sides produced a disappointing final. Defences dominated and only a bad defensive error broke the deadlock. With just 15 minutes remaining a seemingly harmless shot from Cardiff's Hugh Ferguson appeared to be comfortably gathered by Arsenal 'keeper Danny Lewis. However, distracted by the approaching Cardiff forwards Lewis allowed the ball to slip from his grip and it ended up in the net. Lewis - ironically a Welshman - blamed his new jersey for the problem claiming the wool was too greasy for him to grip the ball properly. Since then, legend has it, all new Arsenal goalkeeping shirts are washed before being worn. It was a huge excavation and I spent a wonderful summer living in a tent.

Are You Ready for Some Football The Arsenal Miscellany by Adam Gold Over 40, were at Highbury that day and a young Arsenal apprentice by the name of Charlie George helped build the ring. The first Inter-Cities Fairs Cup competition the forerunner of the Europa League was played over three years from and a London representative side was one of the competing teams. One match - the semi-final second leg defeat of Lausanne - was played at Highbury, on Wednesday 23rd October London got to the final where they were beaten by Barcelona - where have I heard that one before! The Arsenal team was -. Johnny MacLeod opened the scoring for Arsenal after just 9 minutes and a 15, crowd saw Arsenal run out winners, Joe Baker and Geoff Strong each scoring hat-tricks. MacLeod, Baker and Eastham out. Surprising though Arsenal lost that match, 13, at Highbury saw Alan Skirton and John Barnwell score in the defeat. However it was a convincing aggregate victory for the Gunners and they progressed to the Second Round where they were eliminated by Liege. All Arsenal's results in Europe. The reserves played at home to Leyton in the FA Cup and won but the first team travelled to mighty Loughborough and lost in a Second Division match which is still their record League defeat. Match report of that match. Arsenal have a number of firsts to their name when it come to broadcasting over the air-waves. On Saturday January 22nd the first football match to be broadcast live on the radio was the First Division match between Arsenal and Sheffield United at Highbury. On the box Arsenal played Arsenal Reserves on Thursday September 16th in a match arranged for the TV cameras - it was the first live TV broadcast of a football match. Moving forward to Saturday August the first match shown on the new Match of the Day was Liverpool v Arsenal and on Sunday January 31st the world's first live sports event to be broadcast in 3D was the premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United. More details of the above - Football in the Media. Even when it came to the film screen Arsenal proved to be trendsetters. The age-old problem with football films is that they lack realism - the stars just don't have the playing skills and how do you put them in front of a big crowd in a big stadium where inevitably they score a winning cup final goal! Uniquely the film-makers got round those problems in the film The Arsenal Stadium Mystery , an actual Arsenal match was used as the story-line for the film. The First Division match between Arsenal and Brentford played on Saturday 6th May - Arsenal's last League match that counted before the Second World War - doubled up as the Arsenal v Trojans friendly match in which a player dropped dead. As the name suggests the film was based in and around the Arsenal Highbury Stadium and had players in bit- parts and the manager, George Allison, even had a few words to say. OK, his performance was wooden and I have no doubt it didn't make any Oscar shortlist but the film is a unique record of behind-the-scenes of a top club in the s and well worth a look at the DVD. Their first four matches were home ties at Highbury, the semi-final and semi-final replay against Chelsea were both played at White Hart Lane and Liverpool were defeated in the final at Wembley.

  • Triumph and Tragedy: the Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (With Charlie Bamforth)
    Geoffrey Publications is delighted to announce the imminent availability of a new book, ‘Triumph and Tragedy: The Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (with Charlie Bamforth). Few indeed are the people who can claim to have been intimately involved in professional football for more than 60 years. Fewer still are those who can justly say that they reached the very top as a player, a coach and as an ambassador for the game. And surely nobody else can say that they did this whilst somehow trying to come to terms with the tragic death of a child. Soccer has been the lifeblood of Alan Hinton since he was a young Wednesbury lad watching Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion, imploring visiting supporters to send him their clubs’ programmes. He left school at not-quite-15 years old to join the ground staff at Wolves. He was, literally, taken under the wing of the legendary Jimmy Mullen and transformed into a dynamic, completely two-footed left winger with a dynamic shot who was top scorer in Stanley Cullis’ young Wanderers team of the early sixties. The youngster never got too big for his boots - and this book gives endless stories of his down-to-earth nature. For example, how many modern players would be making their way to and from work on two buses and going home to share a bed with his brother after making his England debut, aged 19? Wolves fans were devastated when their ‘Noddy’ was let go to Nottingham Forest in 1964, though not so heartbroken as Hinton himself.

    ENTER1 SVENNIS ‘Every game has its own story.’ – Sven-Göran Eriksson UNCORRECTED PROOFS 01sven1.indd 1 05/03/2004, 16:45:50 2 • Leadership the Sven-Göran Eriksson Way 1966 and all that n 1966 England won the World Cup for the fi rst and only time. They have never looked like winning the most prestigious foot- I ball trophy on the planet since. Defending their trophy in 1970, they were undone by an injury to their goalkeeper and the high altitude of Mexico City – not to mention inadequate replacements for some of the 1966 team and German persistence. In 1974 they failed to qualify – thanks to an inspired Polish goalkeeper and more inadequate replacements for fading heroes. In 1978 they again failed to qualify. In 1982 they scored quickly and then faded gently away, their only world class player, Kevin Keegan, appearing for a matter of minutes – long enough to miss a crucial chance. In 1986 England performed gamely before being beaten by Diego Maradona. In 1990, they reached the semi-fi nal. It took some miraculous comebacks and a change of tac- tics (brought about by the team rather than the manager) to get them that far. In 1994 they failed to qualify. Then, in 1998, they once again stumbled after looking set to make progress. And then in 2002, under Sven-Goran Eriksson, England’s young team reached the quarter fi nals. Whether this was yet another English failure is open to debate. What can be said is that England under- performed in their fi nal game and never quite convinced the world – or themselves – that they believed they could win.
