Bonnie Prince Charlie Arrives.

               
                I’m not sure which season this was exactly but it was around this time.

Going to a different level. 

Season 1983-84. 

Terry Neill transferred George Wood & Peter Nicholas. 

He then signed Ian Allinson - John Lukic & Celtic Superstar, Charlie Nicholas. 

Bonnie Prince Charlie signs from Glasgow Celtic. 

John Lukic - Terry Neill - Charlie Nicholas. 

Jack Kelsey sells Charlie a scarf. 

Charlie Nicholas - No white collar!!

John Lukic - Not dancing yet!!

Arsenal were linked with Ray Wilkins - Gordon Strachan & surprisingly, Glen Hoddle. 

Rumours as usual. 

Pat Jennings leaving at end of the season. 

The squad. 

League. 

Charlie made his debut at Highbury against Luton. 

Charlie scored his first goal at Wolverhampton. 

Then, like most of the team had an erratic season in the League.

Arsenal eventually finished 8th.  

Charlie Nicholas debut vs Luton. 

Charlie Nicholas first goal vs Wolves away. 

Any hopes of winning the title disappeared after 2 disappointing home games early on. 

Arsenal lost 3-2 vs Man Utd. 

Arsenal lost 2-0 vs Liverpool. 

A day out in Shepherds Bush. 

Another new away kit. 

Colin Hill scores his first goal for Arsenal vs Forest. 

Tony Woodcock scores 5 goals at Aston Villa. 

This is the second in a 6-2 victory. 

Martin Hayes - In the youth team. 

Niall Quinn - Also in the youth team. 

Tony Adams makes his League debut. 

Tony Adams debut vs Sunderland at Highbury. 

FA Cup. 

Arsenal lost 3-2 at Middlesbrough in the 3rd Round. 

Mainly memorable for Arsenal Fans being ambushed on way back to the railway station and their coaches being bombarded with missiles from walkways above main roads leaving the town. 

I wonder what would have happened if Arsenal had won?

League Cup. 

Arsenal beat Plymouth in the 3rd Round and then went to meet that team at the Lane

The Cream of Devon. 

Night out at the Lane. 

Surprise - Surprise!!!

I’m in again. 

Charlie keeps scoring against them. 

The Ecstasy!!

& The Agony!!

Oh Yes there is!!

Arsenal Fans are not happy. 

Terry Neill is Angry. 

Arsenal Chairman is not happy. 

Arsenal Chairman. Peter Hill - Wood. 

Terry Neill tries to win the Arsenal Fans support. 

More Transfer Rumours. 

Terry Neill leaves. 

A couple of more players at the right time and he’d have won more trophies. 

Some good - some bad. 

My mates reckon that I invented the selfie. 

Over the years, I’ve met these players from Terry Neill’s s reign at Arsenal.
