Forlagsbeskrivelse af Arsene Who?: The Story of Wenger's 1998 Double af Ryan Baldi

Following on from the super bestseller My Life in Red and White comes a new book on the enigmatic manager of Arsenal, told through the anecdotes of those who played for him, worked with him, or competed against his teams. Nobody had heard of Arsène Wenger when he took charge of Arsenal in October 1996. Arsène Who? was the headline. Yet within less than two full seasons, he transformed an underperforming side into league and FA Cup winners, in the process playing with breath-taking style, sparking an epoch-defining rivalry with Alex Ferguson and Manchester United and modernising football in England with his ground-breaking methods. Featuring over 150 exclusive interviews from those who were involved in the Wenger revolution, this book includes contributions from key players Ian Wright, Lee Dixon, Ray Parlour, Emmanuel Petit, Marc Overmars, Nigel Winterburn, David Platt, Wenger's assistant Pat Rice, physios Gary and Colin Lewin, and even the kit man, Vic Ackers. Rich in behind-the-scenes stories, personal accounts of triumph, tragedy, hilarity and heartbreak, and exposing personal relationships, conflicts and a Copernican Revolution in football philosophy, this is the astounding story of Arsenal's 97/98 double-winning team, and how Wenger changed the club for good. It is a portrait of a collection of troubled and ageing stars who bonded with foreign newcomers to achieve immortality. It is a snapshot of a shifting cultural and sporting landscape epitomised by the Gunners rise. And it is the tale of an unheralded mastermind who guided his team to new heights and changed the face of English football.
