History of Arsenal F.C. (1966-Present)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The history of Arsenal Football Club from 1966 to the present day covers the third, fourth, and fifth periods of success in Arsenal's history, including three Doubles, a Cup Double, and success in European football. Following Bertie Mee's appointment in 1966, Arsenal won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, their first European trophy, in 1969-70, and their first League and FA Cup double in 1970-71. The Double-winning side, however, was soon broken up and the following decade was characterised by a series of near misses: Arsenal lost three FA Cup finals (1971-72, 1977-78, and 1979-80 and the 1979-80 Cup Winners' Cup final on penalties. The club's only success during this time was an FA Cup win in 1978-79 against Manchester United.
