The Glorious Game: Extra Time: Arsene Wenger, Arsenal and the Quest for Success

by Alex Fynn, Kevin Whitcher

Alex Fynn and Kevin Whitcher draw upon times spent behind the scenes at Highbury to piece together an intimate portrait of both the man at the helm, Wenger, and life at the only Premiership club with a chance of challenging the Old Trafford hegemony. The Glorious Game looks back to Arsene Wenger's arrival at the club, studies his philosophy of football, examines Arsenal's underachievement in Europe, and their continuing battle for English supremacy with Manchester United. Featuring interviews and profiles of the key individuals at Highbury—from Wenger and David Dein, through to the likes of Thierry Henry, Sol Campbell, Liam Brady, and Bob Wilson—this edition includes four new chapters on the 2003-2004 season.
