FOREWORD BY THIERRY HENRY

Anfield, May 26th 1989.

The final day from the Division One season. The rest of football ceased to watch as perennial champions Liverpool required on rank outsiders Arsenal in a head-to-head contest for the name. Using the Gunners leading 1-0 but frantically needing another goal to take the title, it had been, in the immortal terms of commentator Brian Moore, ‘up for grabs now…’

Arranged against the about 89: Arsenal’s Greatest Instant, Told in Our Own Terms backdrop of Hillsborough disaster, and during an emotional period in football long before the Premier League as we now find out it, 89 is an oral history of a sporting minute so unusual it was feeling instantly historic.

Drawing on years of study, writer Amy Lawrence includes exciting and never-before noticed testimony through the voices who have there been, for the pitch, off it, and beyond.

89 creates a definitive and kaleidoscopic portrait of the match, and an iconic moment in English football that changed the activity forever.

Drawing on years of study and interviews, writer Amy Lawrence includes fascinating and never-before heard testimonies from the voices who were there around the pitch, including captain Tony Adams, goalscorers Alan Smith and Mickey Thomas, manager George Graham and many more.

Also featured are accounts from those from the pitch, including Arsenal story Ian Wright, super-fans Nick Hornby, Alan Davies and Dermot O’Leary, and Gunners from throughout the world recounting where and exactly how they watched, as well as the lasting effect this seminal video games has had on their lives.

This audio edition includes a special bonus chapter of a Q&A between Amy Lawrence and Alan Davies.
