I'm sure Yashin was used to rhyme with a line about Spurs getting a th...

Re: Ali
I remember reading Henry Cooper complaining about shenanigans going on in Clay's corner when he was knocked down at Wembley.

My memory maybe fading but I'm fairly certain Cooper didn't floor Ali at Highbury in '66. I could be wrong though, wouldn't be the first time!Rugby Gooner wrote:And he did it at Highbury!JMascis666 wrote:I dunno if he was the greatest our 'Enry knocked him down at Wembley in 63!

Re: John Jensen - your memories
I remember the day he scored against QPR was either a New Years Eve or New Years Day, either way I was so pissed I struggled to find my way home that night.

Re: Arsenal Academy
I was looking through some of my old programmes the other day and noticed I had seen loads of our old youth players play in the Ryman Premier League (and below) in recent years! Off the top of my head: Nigel Nieta - Metropolitan Police George Brislan Hall - Enfield Town Jordan Fowler - Wingate &...

When I saw that attendance against Leeds at Highbury I thought it was a misprint! Thanks for clearing that up.

1965/66 Season
I am researching the 1965/66 season and wondered if anybody had any memories / stories no matter how small on that season?

It gives you the option to buy a season ticket at any price point within the Emirates, subject to availability. It also allows you to not take up a season ticket for a season o...
