How did Arsenal get their nickname?
How Arsenal's gunners came to be
Since Arsenal was founded by the workers of an arms factory, and guns were the most important weapons in England at that time, when this club founded by the workers of the arms factory went to war, many foreign fans even gradually forgot their real name and called them simply "Gunners".
In 1886, although the old English League had not yet been established, the soccer atmosphere in England was quite strong, with numerous professional leagues in various regions, and many visionary teams had even begun to gradually establish their own youth training system. During this period, the trend of English soccer development reflected a clear tendency of common people, the most important feature is that soccer clubs are not the specialty of large landowners and big businessmen, some common people can also create their own efforts to create a team, and even leave a colorful mark in the history.
At that time, there was an arms manufacturing company called "Royal Arsenal" in London, the workers of the arms manufacturing company were all avid soccer fans, who witnessed the local soccer league at all levels on weekdays, coupled with the fact that the whole country had already produced a boom in the creation of clubs, so they took the initiative to open up the idea, hoping to create a club belonging to the "Royal Arsenal". "Royal Arsenal" soccer club.
In October 1886, the Scotsman David Danskin and 15 other workers of the "Royal Arsenal" jointly funded the establishment of a team in London's Dale Square, which was named "Dale Square". Dale Square became the predecessor of Arsenal.
Dale Square, although born before the formation of the Premier League, was still a long way from competing in the highest professional league in the country. It is important to realize that although the workers of the Royal Arsenal Arms Manufacturing Establishment could have funded the establishment of a soccer club, there was no way to help Dale Square recruit more financial advantages, and they were not even eligible to participate in the City of London's professional league at the time of their establishment, and could only earn money and maintain their operations by taking part in a number of local warm-up matches, friendlies, and even commercial matches.
On December 11, 1886, Dale Square played their first ever match against the Eastern Rovers and won 6-0. At Christmas time, the workers of Dale Square decided to change the name of the team to "Royal Arsenal" to reflect the fact that the team belonged to the workers of the Arms Manufactory.
In 1893, the club became the first club from the South to join the English soccer league system, and in 1904, Arsenal were promoted to the First Division for the first time, accumulating the second most points in the league, and were relegated for the first and only time in the club's history in 1913. 6 years later, the club returned to the top flight and has stayed there ever since, making the club the longest staying club in the top flight. In the 1930s, Arsenal won several major championships, including five league titles and two FA Cups, and after the end of the Second World War, the club won two league titles and an FA Cup. Arsenal won both the League and FA Cup in the 1970-71 season, becoming double champions for the first time, and between 1989 and 2005, the club won five league titles and five FA Cups, including a double in the 1997-98 and 2001-02 seasons, before going undefeated in the 2003-04 season to win the league title. The club's average league position in the 20th century was the highest of any English club.
Manager Herbert Chapman won Arsenal's first ever home game, and was responsible for the design of Arsenal's kit, the use of shirt numbers, the use of floodlights, and the "WM formation" used in Arsenal's matches in those years, but sadly passed away at an early age. Arsène Wenger is the longest-serving manager in the club's history, and the manager who won the most titles, breaking a number of English league records including the longest winning streak, the longest unbeaten streak, and the only team in the history of England's top flight to go a full season without a defeat in 38 games. 1913 saw the club relocate its home to Highbury Stadium, North London, making it the closest club to Tottenham Hotspur FC in geographical terms. In 1913, the club moved its home to Highbury in North London, becoming the closest club geographically to Tottenham Hotspur FC, and the annual match between the two clubs became known as the North London Derby, and in 2006 Arsenal moved its home stadium to the newly completed Emirates Stadium.
