Claim: Bertie Mee moved in December 1960 to Arsenal where he a spent a year in its youth side, before making his debut against Sheffield Wednesday on 23 December 1960.
Evidence: After the sacking of Billy Wright in 1966, the club asked Mee to become manager, a highly surprising move, perhaps even to the man himself; Mee asked for a get-out clause for him to return to physiotherapist after twelve months if it didn't work out.
