• Liam Brady joins Arsenal as an apprentice 1971
• Arsenal appoint Herbert Chapman as manager 1925
  Following a couple of near-relegation scare seasons under manager Leslie Knighton, Sir Henry Norris decides it is time for a change. A newspaper advertisement is published in the Athletic News in May 1925, reading: > Arsenal Football Club is open to receive applications for the position of TEAM MANAGER. He must be experienced and possess the highest qualifications for the post, both as to ability and personal character. Gentlemen whose sole ability to build up a good side depends on the payment of heavy and exhorbitant transfer fees need not apply. However, at the time of publishing Sir Henry Norris has already started negotiating with whom he saw as the perfect candidate: the highly successful Huddersfield manager Herbert Chapman, who had just brought two league titles to what many considered to be a mid-table side at the time. After successful negotiations in which Sir Henry Norris offers a £2,000/year salary - doubling Chapman's Huddersfield earnings - Herbert Chapman is finally revealed to be the new manager of Arsenal, and a historic era begins.
