Part Eight, the final installment of the series, walks through the final against Parma in Copenhagen. Guests recount their memories of making the trip with the team as well as their concerns about how an undermanned squad would deal with one of Europe’s fiercest attacks. The episode also breaks down how that game was one of redemption for key figures in the squad, as well as George Graham himself. Highlighted by the memories of Alan Smith, who scored the game’s deciding goal, this series finale contains contributions from players and fnas alike.“One-Nil to the Arsenal” recounts the 1994 European Cup Winners Cup season and victory in eight parts.Host: Kent MalmrosGuests: Alan Smith, David Hillier, Nigel Winterburn, Amy Lawrence, Tim Stillman, Clive Palmer, Gary Lewin Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Part Seven highlights arguably the least celebrated but most important element of George Graham’s shift to European readiness – the midfield engine. While big names still adorned the attack and the back line, Graham overhauled the midfield to make it more physical and workmanlike, erring on the side of control. This episode also highlights the semifinals against PSG in the Cup Winners Cup tournament. “One-Nil to the Arsenal” recounts the 1994 European Cup Winners Cup season and victory in eight parts. Host: Kent MalmrosGuests: Alan Smith, David Hillier, Nigel Winterburn, Amy Lawrence, Tim Stillman, Clive Palmer, Gary Lewin Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Part Six explores the group of players most identified with that team and the entire George Graham era – the defense. Known as “The Famous Back Four,” Arsenal back line that season featured a group of players that would all, in their own right, become club legends. The team’s defensive prowess went so deep that some fans called it “The Famous Back Five” because of a legendary goalkeeper in his own right. There may be no unit more responsible for Arsenal’s European win and overall team identity. “One-Nil to the Arsenal” recounts the 1994 European Cup Winners Cup season and victory in eight parts. Host: Kent MalmrosGuests: Alan Smith, Nigel Winterburn, Amy Lawrence, Tim Stillman, Clive Palmer, Gary Lewin Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
