More about the book
In 2004, Arsène Wenger's Arsenal achieved footballing immortality by going an entire season unbeaten, earning the title of 'The Invincibles.' However, 13 years earlier, George Graham's Arsenal team of 1990/91 came remarkably close to that feat, losing only one game during a season filled with extraordinary challenges. The inspirational captain, Tony Adams, faced imprisonment, the team dealt with a demanding fixture schedule, and a mid-match brawl resulted in the only points deduction ever imposed on a club. This thirtieth anniversary edition delves into every aspect of that remarkable season, from new signings and pre-season preparations to detailed coverage of league and cup matches. It argues that the Class of '91 deserves recognition alongside The Invincibles. Featuring newspaper excerpts and interviews with squad legends like Alan Smith, David Seaman, and Lee Dixon, along with behind-the-scenes insights from goalkeeping icon Bob Wilson and journalist Amy Lawrence, this book offers a comprehensive look at Arsenal's 'Almost Invincible' title-winning campaign.
