Since its inception, in the latter months of 1886, when a gaggle of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal Armament Factory decided to formulate their own football team to run, Arsenal Football Club has been steeped in immense history.

Arsenal are, and will always remain, one of the biggest and brightest teams that reside in the English capital – and, as a result, from their inception to the modern day, attracting football’s biggest stars has seldom been an issue.
They may not have been crowned the out-and-out champions of England since 2003/04, when Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles became the first – and, still, the only – English side to go unbeaten in a top flight season, but their elegance has never waned.
