were formed in 1886 as Dial Square before becoming Royal
Arsenal, Woolwich Arsenal and finally Arsenal. They
began playing in South London but eventually moved to
their present site in 1913. Arsenal hold the record
for unbroken years in the top division having been there
since 1919. The legendary Herbert Chapman brought the
glory years to North London during the 1930s when the
Gunners won the league championship 5 times and the
FA Cup twice and although the 1940s brought more trophies,
their finest hour didn't come until 1971 when they became
only the fourth team to win the league and FA Cup double,
repeating that feat in 1998 and again in 2002. |
