End of year accounts for 1903-04, 1920-21 & 1935-36. These show how Arsenal grew into the biggest club in the world.

There's a great quote from Sir Henry Norris in 1921 about transfer fees 😁

73 years ago today Arsenal played their only competitive game in June, away at Sheffield United.

This was due to a backlog of postponed games and a ban on midweek games.

It was also Tom Whittaker's first game as manager.

On the same day the reserves beat Coventry City in the semi-final of the Football Combination Cup. Their season would finish the following week.

Football in mid-June - whatever next?

These programmes, and 2000+ more, available to view on our website.
