Arsenal FC
Arsenal, perhaps one of the most famous clubs in Europe, possibly The World. A club steeped in history, honours and records. Arsenal hail from Islington in North London, although they were founded in Woolwich, South East London.
Now playing at the futuristic Ashburton Grove, less than a five minute walk from Highbury, their home for the majority of their existance. The Grove was completed for the start of the 2006-07 season, succeeding the historic Highbury, one of the most awe-inspiring structures in English football.
The Gunners hold thirteen League Titles, ten FA Cups, two League Cups, The ECWC and Fairs Cup. They stand third in the all time league of Champions, top in the list of most FA Cup Final appearances, and have won The Premiership without losing a single game, a first in modern football.
