The Legacy
Tony Adams was still a teenager breaking into the first team when this shirt was worn, a defender who would go on to captain the club for more than a decade. Charlie Nicholas had arrived from Celtic the previous year amid huge hype and a nickname, Champagne Charlie, that reflected as much about his lifestyle as his football. Kenny Sansom was England's first-choice left-back through this period, and Tony Woodcock led the line for a side still some way from the trophies Arsenal would win later in the decade under George Graham. Umbro made the shirt, JVC sponsored.
Key Moment
