The Wenger Revolution
Twenty Years of Arsenal
The Wenger Revolution
Twenty Years of Arsenal
Description
In September 1996 a Frenchman, so little known in English football that one newspaper ran the headline “Arsene Who?”, walked into Arsenal. In the subsequent twenty years as manager he has transformed the club. English football's longest serving manager has overseen a period of radical change and his experience spans across the spectrum from complex challenges to historic success.
The Wenger Revolution chronicles this fascinating era through the combination of distinctive photographs taken from the inner sanctum, alongside words from Arsene Wenger himself - as he reminisces about key images throughout his career at the club, and from Amy Lawrence, a renowned football writer whose book Invincble: Inside Arsenal's Unbeaten 2003-04 Season was a bestseller and earned critical acclaim.
This is a stunning photographic journey, based on the images captured by official club photographer Stuart MacFarlane, who has had exclusive access for many years. These images tell the story of the changes within the club, and depict the significant people and moments that have defined the Wenger period.
Publication coincides with the twentieth anniversary of Wenger's arrival in England. The Arsenal he joined bears little resemblance to how the club looks today. A total renovation in terms of training, stadium, style, economics and a global audience has taken place under Wenger's instruction.
The Wenger Revolution is worth commemorating, and this book, through the blend of pictures and words, will do so in style.
