“Arsenal have class. I remember when I was at Spurs, the Arsenal players would arrive for matches in their navy blazers with the gold gun emblem sewn into their pockets and grey slacks. We couldn’t match their ground with that beautiful main entrance, marble halls and spiral staircase. Even in 1961 when we won the Double, we were never as big a club as Arsenal.In the early 1960s, Spurs had a great manager and a great team. But they have never been a great club. Even when we had Bill Nicholson as manager and the likes of Dave Mackay, Cliff Jones, Danny Blanchflower and myself, Spurs still lived in the shadow of Arsenal.”

never relegated From the Top Flight, we meant. Arsenal were relegated from the second division but we were working our way up from bottom. Once we made it up we never dropped.

Actually, although finished in the relegation places the outbreak of the 1st World War meant there wasn’t any football until after the war 4 years later. When football did commence Arsenal were re-elected back into the 1st Division ( I think instead of Spurs). So in fact Arsenal have never gone down or been relegated.
