The End

by tom-watt

The End is a story that has never been told before and, as the era of an all-seater Premier League dawns, it won't be told again. The End is an oral history of Arsenal's famous North Bank terrace from which generations of supporters have cheered and bemoaned the fortunes of one of the world's most famous football teams. Eighty years of history - football of course, but the stories, too, of families and friends, fights and passions, heroes and villains, the best and worst of the Great Saturday Afternoon Adventure - is told in the words of the fans who have breathed passionate (and economic) life into Highbury since before the First World War.

[John Newcomb]

What an interesting book. Supporters, Police, First aiders, club officials and players talk about 80 years of standing on the North Bank at Highbury before the Taylor report insisted on all seater stadiums. A real insight into football culture over the years and the love of a club.
