It was an achievement like no other - a Premier League side unbeaten for an entire season - but then Arsenal in 2003-2004 were a team like no other.
Amy Lawrence has watched football avidly since her first trip to Highbury at the age of six, and has written about it, mostly for the Guardian and the Observer, for twenty years. She lives in London.
Delightful . . . a football book that takes the team not the stars
as its starting point
*Guardian*
This book is so full of exclusive interviews you'll soon feel like
part of the squad. A worthy tribute to one of English football's
best ever teams, it makes you long for one more game at
Highbury
*Shortlist*
Unbeatable insight. The inside story of one of English football's
greatest teams
*Daily Telegraph*
Perceptive and well-wrought . . . Provides all-areas access to the
inner workings and passions of a top club and a famous team
*Sunday Times, Books of the Year*
The story of an amazing season wonderfully told through the eyes of
the men who made it happen. I can't recommend it highly enough
*Arseblog*
Fascinating for any sports fan and truly a gold mine for Arsenal
supporters
*Alan Davies*
A fascinating and engrossing read from start to finish. Provides
wonderful insight and anecdotes as well as revealing the dynamics
and determination from within the dressing room
*Daily Mirror*
I picked it up and couldn't put it down. Brilliantly depicts a
piece of football history
*David Dein, Arsenal Vice-Chairman (1983-2007)*
This is research at its riveting best. My only complaint about the
book is that it had to end
*Patrick Barclay, author of The Life and Times of Herbert
Chapman*
If you were there in 71 and/or 2004, buy the book. If only now do
you appreciate that we probably had four of the six best payers on
the planet back then, buy the book and read their words. Let me
make it simple. If you are an Arsenal supporter, buy the book
*Goonerholic*
This is a book that contains some of the most evocative prose I
have encountered in a book about football and without doubt
solidifies Lawrence's place in the very top tier of sports writing
in English. The story and characters are fascinating enough, but it
is how they come to life and dance in Lawrence's writing that makes
this book such a wonderful telling of an incredible tale
*Huffington Post*
Lawrence is a writer who will help the reader to appreciate the
football on the pitch with an understanding of how the game is
played few can match. At the same time she never fails to
appreciate the passion that makes us fans
*Morning Star*
A gripping account of Arsenal's undefeated title winning season of
2003/4
*Guardian*
