From Highbury to the Emirates, from Herbert Chapman’s legacy to the modern Arsenal we know today, few individuals have devoted so much of their lives to the Gunners.
Arsenal’s official tribute honours the man whose remarkable association with the club began in 1945, when an 11-year-old Ken was playing football outside Highbury and caught the attention of manager George Allison.
