Arsenal:
Head to Head
Peter Waring
Arsenal: Head to Head reveals for the first
time how the Gunners have fared against every club
they’ve ever played, in any competition, since
the club entered the Football League. From Ashford
United to York City, Arsenal’s complete record
of matches against each club is looked at in detail
and illustrated with pictures. Also included is a
table of players who’ve played for both clubs
and a ‘fact file’ highlighting the most
surprising nuggets to be gleaned from this fresh way
of interpreting the club’s statistics.
Did you know that of all the 116 teams that Arsenal
have ever played, Tranmere are the only one against
whom they have never scored? That Arsenal’s
biggest-ever win in the FA Cup came in an 1893 12–0
victory over non-league Ashford? Or that Ian Wright
is the only Gunner to have scored three hat-tricks
against the same opposition (Southampton). All these
facts and figures, along with countless others, are
easily accessible in Arsenal: Head to Head.
