Top 3 things about my fav. team.
1. In 1932 when the team still played at Highbury, then-manager Herbert Chapman campaigned for the local Tube* station (Gillespie Road) to change its name to ‘Arsenal’. On the 5th of November 1932, the name was officially changed, making it the only Tube station to be named specifically after a football club.
*In US and Canada, they got subway. People in London call theirs as Tube because the tunnels shaped like tubes.
