About this ebook

i>Red Letter Days dissects the myths and conjecture which surround Arsenal's epoch-defining moments, including key matches and tactical revolutions, and casts fresh light on the impact of important figures in the club's history. Matches under the spotlight include the 1930 'Zeppelin Final', the decisive Stoke semi of 1971, Anfield '89, Parma '94 and the epic duels with Manchester United under Arsene Wenger. The Gunners' tactical innovations take in the deployment of the WM formation in 1927 and Dave Sexton's blueprint in the late 60s A- while Norris, Buchan, Chapman, Mercer, Graham, Bergkamp and Vieira are among the Highbury legends reconsidered. Jon Spurling has pooled 25 years' worth of interviews with Arsenal stars past and present A- including George Male, Frank McLintock, Alan Smith, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires A- blending archive research with analysis of crucial events on and off the pitch. The result is a groundbreaking and challenging reassessment of Arsenal's history.
