Woolwich Arsenal FC: 1893-1915 (The Club That Changed Football)
One for die hard Gooners no doubt but nevertheless very interesting as the club moved from amateur status to professional, moved grounds ultimately to north London and whilst being the first London club to join the League proper being promoted to the top flight and then demoted for the only time which is unique. Those who aren't Gooners may be interested in how many players came from up north and Scotland, partly due to the armaments factory and partly as professional players, and the life expectancy which was pretty high all things considered. A good read for the fan.
