When Football Was Football: Arsenal
A Nostalgic Look at a Century of the Club
By: Paul Joseph
Using photographic and written archives of the 'Daily Mirror' (including rare and unseen material), 'When Football Was Football - Arsenal' takes us on a nostalgia-packed journey through the club's evolution from its beginnings as a south London munitions factory team, through the nurturing of some of the game's fabled characters - from notorious chairman Henry Norris to the great innovator Herbert Chapman, and the players from Brylcreem Boy Denis Compton, wee Alex James, Charlie George and Frank McLintock, up to the fresh-in-the-memory figures of Tony Adams and Ian Wright (perhaps the last bastion of a pre-modern Arsenal).
