1886 to Today
Players
Everyone who has actually turned out for Arsenal, from the workmates who played the first match in 1886 to the current squad. Grouped by the decade each player first appeared.
The record thins out the further back you go. Arsenal began as an amateur works team, and nobody in the 1880s was keeping statistics or portraits for posterity, so the earliest profiles say plainly where the sources run out rather than filling the gap with guesswork. Players shown on a plain monogram card are those we either have no surviving photograph of, or no freely licensed one we are entitled to publish.
