'SPORTING HISTORY AT ITS BEST' Daily Telegraph

'A TERRIFIC READ AND A WORTHY TRIBUTE' FourFourTwo

'VERY WELL WRITTEN AND RESEARCHED' Nostalgic Gooner

From Herbert Chapman to Arsene Wenger, this is the definitive history of Arsenal's time at the famous Highbury stadium.

After several years of sitting in Highbury's local pubs and cafes with a dictaphone, Jon Spurling has pooled hours of exclusive interviews with fans, programme sellers, local publicans and even those who dug the foundations of the Laundry End (and later cleared rubbish from its terraces) to meticulously construct the biography of the ground and chart the ups and downs of one of England's greatest league clubs.

Spurling has also spoken to numerous players, the late greats of yesteryear including Ted Drake, George Male and Reg Lewis, legends of a more recent vintage from Bob Wilson, Charlie George and Malcolm MacDonald to Anders Limpar, as well as heroes of the Wenger era such as Patrick Vieira.

Written in the year that Arsenal moved to the Emirates, Jon Spurling has produced the definitive account of the club's 93 years at Highbury.

Industry Reviews

Spurling is a diligent researcher and this is local sporting history at its best - DAILY TELEGRAPH

The second of at least three homages to Highbury, but the others will do well to match this one, not just for the depth of research, but for its wit and vibrancy ... A terrific read and a worthy tribute - FOURFOURTWO

Some would argue that a building cannot have a soul: I'd beg to differ and would suggest that Spurling has found it - ARSENAL WORLD
