TALBOT
Brian Talbot was one of the stars of Ipswich Town's FA Cup final victory
over Arsenal in 1978. A year later he was back at Wembley with Terry
Neill's side and scored in the dramatic 3-2 victory over Manchester
United. Talbot was an ever-willing worker. He played in all 70 games in
the 1979-80 season as Arsenal reached two major cup finals. In just over
six campaigns he played 380 games at an average of 63 per season. He left
Arsenal in 1985 and has since moved into management. After a long spell in
charge of Rushden & Diamonds he took over the reins at Oldham in March.
TELEVISION
Arsenal have been involved in a number of notable firsts in the 'world of
television'. Their home game against Sheffield United on January 22, 1927
was the first BBC broadcast and when Charlie Buchan scored for Arsenal he
became the first player to hit the net on television. Just over three
months later Arsenal were involved in the first televised FA Cup Final.
Unfortunately it ended in a 1-0 defeat to Cardiff City. On September 16,
1937, Arsenal and their reserves took part in the first live TV game shown
anywhere in the world. Finally, Arsenal's clash with Liverpool at Anfield
was the first game to be featured on BBC Television's Match of the Day.
The game, played in August 1964, finished in a 3-2 victory for the home
team.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
Tottenham have been Arsenal's neighbours and rivals ever since Arsenal
moved north of the River Thames in 1913 but their first competitive
fixture was played back in December 1909. It was won by Arsenal through a
goal from Walter Lawrence. Arsenal's biggest home win was 5-1 in October
1934 when Ted Drake scored a hat-trick. The biggest away win came a year
later when Drake and Alf Kirchen both bagged a brace in a 6-0 win. Arsène
Wenger’s record against Tottenham is P17 W8 D8 L1. The most recent game
between the sides, a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane on April 25, saw Arsenal
secure the title. They also clinched the championship at the home of their
local rivals in 1971 when Ray Kennedy headed the only goal.
TRAINING GROUND
Originally the team trained at Highbury using the cinder track, a gym,
facilities behind the Clock End and even the neighbouring streets to hone
their skills. In 1961 they moved to the UCL training ground in
Hertfordshire but on October 11, 1999 a purpose-built facility was opened.
Covering an area of 143 acres, it boasts 10 pitches (two with undersoil
heating), six changing rooms, a steam room, a swimming pool with
adjustable floor, a gym, a treatment room, massage baths, a press room and
a restaurant.
TROPHIES
Arsenal have won six different major trophies. They have won 13 League
titles, nine FA Cups, two League Cups, 11 Charity Shields, one European
Fairs Cup and one European Cup-Winners Cup. The Fairs Cup was the
forerunner of the modern Uefa Cup and, given that fact, the only trophy
that eludes Arsenal is the European Cup/Champions League. Apart from the
Premiership, Arsenal won two trophies last season. After their unbeaten
Premiership campaign last season, the Club are to be presented with a
special award to mark the occasion. They will also receive a trophy for
finishing top of the 'Fair Play' League.
