The history of Arsenal Football Club is filled with a wealth of iconic moments, incredible achievements and remarkable records. Three league and cup Doubles. The Invincibles season. A record 14 FA Cup wins. Winning the title at their bitter rival’s ground… twice. And, of course, that famous night at Anfield in 1989. And that’s just a few examples. But none of this would have been possible without the players who pulled on that famous red-and-white shirt and wrote their name into Arsenal folklore. From the goalscoring exploits of Thierry Henry and Ian Wright to the brilliance of Dennis Bergkamp and Liam Brady. And from the defensive discipline of the famous back four and David Seaman’s safe hands to the heroics of Charlie George, Michael Thomas and Alan Smith. Inside we celebrate some of the greatest players in Arsenal’s history, covering the eras of Herbert Chapman, George Graham and Arsène Wenger, and everything in between. It’s not just the players of the past who we’re here to recognise, however. We also feature Arsenal’s biggest current stars, too, including Hale End’s very own Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, fan favourites Declan Rice, Gabriel and Leah Williamson, as well as some of the latest additions to the Arsenal family. You’ll also discover the club’s greatest managers and our top 10 moments from Arsenal’s history, while we even bring you eight fantastic posters of your favourite players. Up the Gunners!
