this is probably my favorite highlights reel i've watched of a "classic" arsenal game so far - and not just because it's a 4-0 home victory over united at the beginning of that phenomenal 1970-71 season. a few notes:
john radford gets a hattrick! radford's playing as the 9 and i felt like a really got a better sense of seeing how he (and arsenal) liked to play - those low shots into the corner off those crosses. he scores two goals in four minutes (and i especially like the second at about 1:25)
bob wilson's phenomenal save against george best (2:40). wilson was a teacher before he joined arsenal...after over 300 appearances for the club, he became a gk coach for arsenal and worked with jennings, lukic, seaman etc...and he was at the match this weekend :)
george graham playing as the 11. i sometimes forget that graham joined arsenal as a striker! he was our top scorer twice in that position before being moved to midfield (though it wasn't as permanent of a switch as one might think)..."stroller" and all that. 70-71 is kind of interesting because charlie george breaks his ankle in the first match (scoring an equalizer against everton, 1970 league champs) so you've got graham back as the 11 despite his limitations and then by the end of the season he's back as the 8 for the first lengthy run in that position since...68/69 i think. (and then he goes back to forward again when arsenal buy alan ball from everton and then he goes to manchester united yadda yadda). this isn't really a short note but idk. he's an neat character i'm thinking of reading his book.
forgot that ian ure joined united. rude.
