Who is the best player ever to have been signed by Arsenal?
Last summer I wrote a post about ‘Arsenal's Best Transfer News Ever'. The point of that piece
was to determine which piece of transfer news was the most exciting when it was announced,
regardless of how that player went on to perform for the club.
Following his quite excellent piece for us about non-league videos a couple of days ago, we
are pleased to welcome Mike Bayly back from the Non-League Day initiative. Mike
wrote a book called "Changing Ends", about a season in non-league football, last
year, and this excerpt from the book traces the history of Dudley Town FC, the representatives of
the largest town in Britain never to have hosted league football.
