The players carrying the cannon forward this season
We do not buy superstars. We make them.
The icons who built the Arsenal legacy
The King of Highbury. Arsenal's all-time top scorer who combined pace, skill, and finishing like no other. The centrepiece of the Invincibles.
The non-flying Dutchman. A magician with the ball at his feet — his touch against Newcastle remains the greatest goal the Premier League has ever seen.
The towering captain who embodied Arsenal's fighting spirit. His penalty to seal the 2005 FA Cup Final remains one of football's most poetic moments.
Mr. Arsenal. One-club man, captain for over a decade. His last-ever goal — that chest and volley against Everton — was a fitting farewell.
The silky French winger whose gliding runs from the left were devastating. A key architect of the Invincible season and two league titles.
The Professor. Revolutionised English football with his tactical vision, dietary changes, and belief in beautiful football. 22 years, one unbeaten season.
From a munitions factory in Woolwich to the Emirates
Workers at the Royal Arsenal munitions factory in Woolwich form a football club. Within weeks they rename to Royal Arsenal, then Woolwich Arsenal.
Arsenal cross the Thames to Highbury, North London. The Art Deco East Stand would later become a Grade II listed building.
Herbert Chapman builds Arsenal's first dynasty, winning three league titles. He pioneers floodlights, numbered shirts, and the WM formation.
Arsenal win the League and FA Cup in the same season for the first time, clinching the title at White Hart Lane of all places.
Michael Thomas scores in the last minute of the last game of the season at Anfield to steal the title from Liverpool. The most dramatic finish in English football history.
"Arsène Who?" the tabloids asked. Within two years he delivered the Double, playing the most exciting football England had ever seen.
49 games unbeaten. Arsenal go an entire Premier League season without defeat — a feat never accomplished before or since. The golden cannon is reborn.
Arsenal move from Highbury to the 60,704-seat Emirates Stadium. The final game at Highbury: a 4-2 win, with Henry scoring a hat-trick.
Former captain Mikel Arteta rebuilds Arsenal from the ground up. Young, hungry, and playing with the intensity that has made them genuine title contenders once again.
