SANSOM
Kenny Sansom remains Arsenal's most-capped player. After arriving in
August 1980 from Crystal Palace in a deal that took Clive Allen and Paul
Barron to Selhurst Park, the left back quickly usurped the established
Sammy Nelson. He also became an England regular and racked up 86 England
caps in total, 77 of which came with Arsenal. Patrick Vieira is the
nearest player to breaking the record. He had 72 caps for France when they
were eliminated by Greece at Euro 2004.
SLEEVES
Before the arrival of Herbert Chapman in 1925, Arsenal played in a plain
red shirt. The new manager launched the Arsenal kit as we know it today.
Chapman noticed someone at the ground wearing a red sleeveless sweater
over a white shirt. This inspired him to create a new strip combining a
red shirt with white collar and sleeves. It also incorporated the Club
badge, which was positioned on the left-hand side of the shirt.
SMITH
Alan Smith signed from Leicester in March 1987 but was immediately loaned
back to the The Foxes until the end of that campaign. He even played
against Arsenal at Highbury. A tall, intelligent striker with expert
distribution, he topped the First Division scoring charts in 1988-89 and
nodded home the first goal in the dramatic finale at Anfield. He hit 22
goals in the 1991 title-winning season and, memorably, hit the clinching
goal in the Cup Winners Cup final of 1994. However, injury struck soon
afterwards and he retired in the Spring of 1995 with a record of 115 goals
in 347 games. He is now a respected football journalist and writes a
column for Arsenal.com.
STANDARD LIEGE
Arsenal went to Belgium for the second leg of their Cup Winners Cup second
round tie on November 3, 1993 with a 3-0 advantage over Standard Liege
from the home game. They went on to romp to a 7-0 victory with goals from
Smith, Selley, Adams, Campbell (2), Merson and McGoldrick. It remains the
Club's most emphatic victory in European competition.
SWINDIN
Having served Arsenal as a goalkeeper either side of the Second World War,
George Swindin was well known to the Highbury faithful when he was
appointed as manager in 1958. The Yorkshireman made wholesale changes to a
side that had performed in average fashion the previous year and they paid
dividends. Arsenal led the table in February 1959 and seemed destined for
the title. However they could not hold on. A catalogue of injuries and the
sale of free-scoring striker David Herd did not help. Swindin left the
manager's seat in 1962 and went on to take charge at Cardiff and Norwich.

Perliamo gobbacci a proposito dell'AS Roma: "il titolo ha ancora un'ottima
credibilita' finanziaria ed il presidente ha fatto tutto il possibile per
mantenere questa credibilita' e solo dopo ha lanciato l'aumento di
capitale (che andra' a ruba e durera' molto meno di quello della lazio)"
