For about three years in the late 1920s it was known as "The Arsenal", but the then manager, Herbert Chapman, changed its legally incorporated name to try and ensure that it always came first in any alphabetical listing of English football clubs. noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Arsène shoots himself in the foot? sjmaxq 04/12/2004 6:23 AM Re: Arsène shoots himself in the foot?
