Critics Review
Delightful … a football book that takes the team not the stars as its starting point
Delightful … a football book that takes the team not the stars as its starting point – David Goldblatt * Guardian *
This book is so full of exclusive interviews you’ll soon feel like part of the squad. A worthy tribute to one of English football’s best ever teams, it makes you long for one more game at Highbury * Shortlist *
Unbeatable insight. The inside story of one of English football’s greatest teams
– Henry Winter * Daily Telegraph *Perceptive and well-wrought … Provides all-areas access to the inner workings and passions of a top club and a famous team – Sunday Times, Books of the Year
The story of an amazing season wonderfully told through the eyes of the men who made it happen. I can’t recommend it highly enough – Andrew Mangan * Arseblog *
Fascinating for any sports fan and truly a gold mine for Arsenal supporters * Alan Davies *
A fascinating and engrossing read from start to finish. Provides wonderful insight and anecdotes as well as revealing the dynamics and determination from within the dressing room – John Cross * Daily Mirror *
I picked it up and couldn’t put it down. Brilliantly depicts a piece of football history * David Dein, Arsenal Vice-Chairman (1983-2007) *
This is research at its riveting best. My only complaint about the book is that it had to end – Patrick Barclay, author of The Life and Times of Herbert Chapman
If you were there in 71 and/or 2004, buy the book. If only now do you appreciate that we probably had four of the six best payers on the planet back then, buy the book and read their words. Let me make it simple. If you are an Arsenal supporter, buy the book – Goonerholic
