Arsenal FC

By Joel Newsome

Book Overview

In 1886, a ragtag group of factory workers in southeast London decided to form a soccer team. After their first game, which they dominated 6 over 0, they adopted the moniker Royal Arsenal. Arsenal FC chronicles the team's rise from this modest working-class formation to one of the most successful clubs in the history of the sport, as they remain a commanding opponent in the Premier League and beyond more than 130 years later. A wealth of historical anecdotes, detailed player information, and photographs of crucial gameplay afford readers a comprehensive view of the struggles, victories, and influence of one of Europe's most prominent soccer clubs.
