Product Description

Product Description

It’s the ultimate football debate: who is your team’s Best XI?

If you’ve ever tried to decide on your favourite club’s greatest-ever XI then you’ll know what a difficult, contentious process it is. Using our vast network of experienced football writers, bloggers, editors and fans, the Best XI series of digital publications will look to settle the debate once and for all.

Selecting our teams based on a mixture of painstaking research, vociferous debate, gut instinct and blind loyalty, Best XI picks the greatest all-time teams and brings them to life player by player.

In the first of a new and exciting series, Best XI Arsenal looks at the greatest ever Gooner team, from the dapper, dashing Alex James of the 1930s to the... erm... dapper, dashing Thierry Henry of the Invincibles. Between those two eras, Arsenal fans have witnessed some fantastic performers but who has made it to the ultimate XI?

Tony Adams is a no-brainer but who partners Captain Fantastic at the heart of the defence? How do you choose between Cliff Bastin, Ian Wright, Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp up front? Will Christopher Wreh's goal in the 98 FA Cup semi-final see him sneak past them all to claim a place in the team? (OK, maybe that's a stretch...)

Authors Luke Nicoli, Damian Hall, Kevin Whitcher (editor of The Gooner) and Andrew Mangan (of Arseblog fame) shed blood, sweat and tears to whittle down more than 125 years of footballing excellence into one star-studded side.

Best XI – Where The Greatest Come To Life

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read! 25 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've just finished this book and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. My choice of the Arsenal Best XI would be slightly different, but the detail and insight into every player in their eleven was capitivating. I especially liked the chapters on players from years gone by, whom I knew less about, such as George Male and Alex James. I also like the way that the different chapters have different authors, with guest appearances from the Arseblogger and Kevin Whitcher.

The book has been reviewed on numerous Arsenal websites (including Goonerholic - [...]), and copied below is the review from the leading Arsenal fanzine - The Gooner.

BEST XI ARSENAL

By Brian Dawes (the review that is!)

Review of the e-book by Damian Hall, Luke Nicoli, Andrew Mangan and Kevin Whitcher

Right then: so like me you got a Kindle for Christmas and now you're looking for books to download. Well one particular recommendation I can make is the 'Best XI Arsenal' now available from Kindle at a mere £3.04.

The essence as you might suspect is in the title and it's a game we've all played in pubs or on long away trips. Four fans arguing about their favourite players in each position, discussing the formation to be played and debating as to whether you can you pick players who played before your time. The difference between the pub/car journey game you've played and this volume is that each of the eleven players chosen here is honoured with their own chapter and each is written by one of four fine authors. Namely: Luke Nicoli and Damian Hall (both Arsenal supporting journalists), Kevin Whitcher (editor of The Gooner) and Andrew Mangan (known universally as Arseblogger).

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Gooners! 19 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
...Gooners will love the shared history, the well-supported opinions, and the memories of all of the great periods of Arsenal's past. But all football fans with an appreciation of the characters and culture of the sport will love it too. More Best XIs on the way? I hope so!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who's The Best Gunner? 19 Feb 2013
By John
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A great little book that is bound to start a debate or two on those included in this list. It's always difficult to give an opinion on previous great players you haven't seen play, so the profiles of the earlier players help to do them justice. My favourite Arsenal player just has to be Liam 'Chippy' Brady, so who is yours? Read the book and see.
