Memories and Marble Halls
Great players come and go, matches are won and lost, managers might last for a disappointing season or a triumphant decade. But the fans go on for ever. Their passion is tangible - a shared desire to see Arsenal in action, to urge Arsenal to greater efforts, to cheer an Arsenal goal and revel in an Arsenal victory. The memories they invoke are indelible - the League and Cup domination of the 1930s, the titles of the post-war years, the Wembley victory of 1950, the barren years of the Sixties, the Double of 1971, the near-incredible League victory of 1989 and the glorious trophies of the 1990s.
Every fan's allegiance is the same but every experience is unique - and this collection of Gooners' reminiscences, collected by David Sims, gives an unprecedented insight into almost a century of support for one of the world's great football clubs.
