Great old pictures

[goonersid]

Any of the images I've put up here are from Google images. Here's some of the marble halls

Looking at these photos just make me hate them all even more, Wenger, the board all lying *word censored* who lured us away from the most iconic football stadium in the world, on the promise of future success, investment in players and competing with the top sides in Europe. Lying, fucking cheating money grabbing bastards, every last fucking rotten one of them.

They're probably all gonna come out cropped, but if you right click - open image in new tab it should show the whole picture.

Saw it & thought of Mr & Mrs Bale Snr so saved it. He obviously got his dad's looks & his mum's diving skills.

Either that or I'm working on a planet of the apes porno screenplay.

Love this thread...! Wish I'd taken pictures at games over the years....but in the days before mobile phones you'd have just looked weird!

Anyone know the best place to find other pictures of Highbury from pre-seated days??

Not sure if you mean online or in a book format MK, but if it is the latter I have a book called Arsenal Stadium History by Hamlyn, which contains some of those already put up so far and plenty more besides, with a lot of written background to go with it - a bloody good read (if a bit of a tear jerker)

Sadly the man with the goose (who was well known in his time) got crushed to death at one of our games.

"The End" by Tom Watt (yes, i know ) is a great read. It tells the stories behind a lot of people in these pictures...
