The Legacy

Perry Groves, signed in 1986, was part of the squad as George Graham looked to rebuild. Arsenal finished sixth in the First Division while competing in the Adidas home shirt featuring the JVC sponsor. Tony Adams established himself as a fixture in central defence alongside regular appearances from David Rocastle. Paul Merson began to force his way into the first team setup, while Alan Smith led the line. The side reached the semi-finals of the League Cup. This design remains a familiar look for supporters following the side throughout that league campaign.

Key Moment

Arsenal reached the 1987-1988 League Cup Final at Wembley, a campaign that preceded their First Division title win the following year.
