Description

Highbury became Arsenal's new home in September 1913 when the club decamped from Manor Ground in Plumstead, south east London, and for the next 93 years the stadium was to play host to countless Saturday afternoons of elation and heartbreak, highs and lows, celebration and misery. Designed by renown football ground architect Archibald Leitch, Highbury cost £125,000 to build and hosted its first match at the start of the 1913-14 season - fittingly a 2-1 victory over Leicester Fosse in the Second Division. George Jobey earned the distinction of becoming the first Arsenal player to score at the new ground in the win. Highbury hosted its first England match in 1920 and although the North Bank was bombed during World War II, the stadium changed little over the decades. Floodlights were fitted in 1951, with the first illuminated match a friendly against Hapoel Tel Aviv in October the same year and undersoil heating was installed in 1964. Arsenal's growing success and the need for increased capacity saw the club begin the search for a new home at the turn of the century. The Gunners moved to the nearby Emirates Stadium for the start of the 2006-07 season, with the last game at Highbury a 4-2 Premiership victory over Wigan Athletic in May 2006. Own a piece of sporting history Highbury was the spiritual home of Arsenal for 93 glorious years before the club relocated to the Emirates and this stunning print celebrates the grand old stadium in all its glory. Personally signed by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and photographer Gary Brandham, the print is a stunning piece of Gunners memorabilia. Each print is issued with a certificate of authenticity signed by our managing director.
