Think You Know Your Club? Here Are Fun Facts You Didn't Know About Arsenal by Edusteve(m): 11:07pm On Sep 07, 2020
So today I'm not going to waste your time, but kindly permit me to ask you a serious question concerning Arsenal. As a fan 1- Did you know Arsenal’s game against Sheffield United at Highbury on January 22, 1927 was the first ever English league match to be broadcast on the radio.

2- Ten years later, a game between Arsenal’s first team and their reserves was the first ever football match to be televised live in September 1937.

3- On January 31, 2010, Arsenal’s game against Manchester United was the first match to be broadcast in 3D.

4– As England gear up for their latest round of international matches, did you know Arsenal hold the record for the most players from a single club for the Three Lions when seven Gunners were selected for England against Italy at Highbury in 1934 – in a notorious match which was to be known as the ‘Battle of Highbury’. Arsenal, sorry England triumphed against the world champions 3-2 in a tempestuous game.

5 – Arsenal have won three doubles – in 1970-71, 1997-98 and 2001-02.
Arsenal have been champions of England 13 times – 11 more than bitter rivals Spurs, who last won the league before man set foot on the moon!

6- The club’s biggest away win against rivals Spurs was a 6-0 thrashing in March 1935.

7 - Graham Rix and Kenny Sansom were the first Arsenal players to play in a World Cup for England in 1982 vs France.https://trumpcall..com/2020/09/think-you-know-your-club-here-are-fun.html
