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. * FOUR FOUR TWO *
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 *
