Proud to Say That Name: The Marble Hall of Fame

by Amy Lawrence

In 1989 raputous red and white souls bellowed "boring, boring Arsenal" from a corner of Anfield to honour the champions who had clinched the title in the manner acclaimed as one of the most dramatic ever, and all this from a club whom critics had said would put an insomniac to sleep. This book presents a trip through three decades of football at Highbury, told by manager George Graham and 11 Arsenal players including Liam Brady, Charlie George, Ian Wright, David Seaman, Pat Rice, Kenny Sansom, David Rocastle, David O'Leary, Tony Adams, Dennis Bergkamp and George Armstrong.

Reviews

[John Newcomb · Rating 3 out of 5]

Amy has taken 11 players and a manager and discusses their most significant game. It is a very imaginative approach but it is like a little history from 1970 to the end of the century. A really entertaining and informative approach, more especially so as one of the players was the late David Rocastle, and it was good to hear his voice.
