Arsenal Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Holloway, London. The club was formed in Woolwich in 1886 as Royal Arsenal before being renamed as Woolwich Arsenal in 1893.[1] The club was renamed a second time in 1914 as Arsenal F.C. after moving to Highbury a year earlier.[2] After spending their first four seasons solely participating in cup tournaments and friendlies, Arsenal became the first southern member admitted into the Football League in 1893.[3] In spite of finishing fifth in the Second Division in 1919, the club was voted to rejoin the First Division at the expense of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur.[4] Since that time, they have not fallen below the first tier of the English football league system and hold the record for the longest uninterrupted period in the top flight.[5] The club remained in the Football League until 1992, when its First Division was superseded as English football's top level by the newly formed Premier League, of which they were an inaugural member.[6]

The list encompasses the major honours won by Arsenal, records set by the club, their managers and their players. The player records section itemises the club's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions. It also records notable achievements by Arsenal players on the international stage, and the highest transfer fees paid and received by the club. Attendance records at Highbury, the Emirates Stadium, the club's home ground since 2006, and Wembley Stadium, their temporary home for UEFA Champions League games between 1998 and 1999, are also included.

Arsenal have won 13 top-flight titles, and also hold the record for the most FA Cup wins, with 12. The club's record appearance maker is David O'Leary, who made 722 appearances between 1975 and 1993. Thierry Henry is Arsenal's record goalscorer, scoring 228 goals in total.

All figures are correct as of the match played on 3 November 2015.

Honours[edit]

Arsenal's first ever silverware was the Kent Junior Cup which they won as Royal Arsenal in 1890.[7] Their first national senior honour came in 1930, when they won the FA Cup.[8] The club enjoyed further success in the 1930s, winning another FA Cup and five Football League First Division titles.[9][10] Arsenal won their first league and cup double in the 1970–71 season and twice repeated the feat, in 1997–98 and 2001–02.[11] In 2003–04, Arsenal recorded an unbeaten top-flight league season, something once achieved before by Preston North End in 1888–89.[12] Their most recent success came in 2015, when they won the FA Cup for a record 12th time.[13]

European statistics[edit]

Main article: Arsenal F.C. in European football

Arsenal have won two European honours: the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1970 and the Cup Winners' Cup in 1994. They also reached the final of the UEFA Cup in 2000, and became the first London team to appear in a UEFA Champions League final in 2006.[79][80] Despite having never won the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal have set numerous records in the competition. Between 1998–99 and 2015–16, they participated in eighteen successive seasons, a record only surpassed in Europe by Real Madrid.[81] Goalkeeper Jens Lehmann kept ten consecutive clean sheets in the run-in to Arsenal's first UEFA Champions League final and the defence went 995 minutes until conceding a goal.[82] Arsenal were also the first British side to defeat Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund away from home, and both Milanese teams: Internazionale and Milan at the San Siro.[83]

Thierry Henry holds the club record for most appearances with 86, and is the club's record goalscorer in European competitions with 42 goals.[16][21]

Global records[edit]

In August 1928, Arsenal, alongside Chelsea, made history by becoming the first football clubs to wear numbered shirts.[84] A year earlier the first ever live radio commentary of a football match took place, between Arsenal and Sheffield United.[85] Arsenal played in the first match broadcast live on television, against their reserve counterparts in 1937 and have since participated in the world's first live 3D and interactive football matches, both with Manchester United.[86][87][88]

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ^ Laurie Scott and George Eastham were called up to England squads (1950, and 1962 and 1966, respectively), but did not play.[32]
  2. ^ George Eastham was retrospectively awarded a medal for being a non-playing member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning side.[36]
  3. ^ Unusually, Arsenal were forced to play two matches on the same day on 12 December 1896; while the first team took on Loughborough in the League, the reserves played Leyton in the FA Cup. The irony is that the reserves won handsomely, 5–0, whilst the seniors suffered Arsenal's record league defeat.[61][62] Additionally, Arsenal lost 0–9 to Chelsea in a wartime London Combination match on 21 April 1916,[63] but this is not counted as an official first-class match.[64]
