Book Review: Is Yours Gold? The Arsenal Invincibles Twentieth Anniversary

“It’s not impossible to go through the season unbeaten and I can’t see why it’s shocking to say that. Every manager thinks that, but they don’t say it because they’re scared it would be ridiculous.”
– Arsene Wenger, 20 September 2002.

The words which were met with ridicule from the media and rival supporters alike. Labelled “Comical Wenger” for daring to dream.

Less than two years later, on 15 May 15 2004, Wenger’s words came true. Arsenal did the unthinkable and went unbeaten.

Nearly 20-years on and no other club has since achieved what Arsenal achieved. Oil-states and oligarchs have spent billions trying to do what Wenger achieved on a shoestring budget.

Is Yours Gold? is a unique look at that season, told by a fan that was there.

Author Darren Berry watched on from the North Bank as Patrick Vieira latched onto Dennis Bergkamp’s through ball and slotted home the goal that would secure a 2-1 win over Leicester City, and Arsenal a place in football history.

But this book is not just Darren’s story. It is a collection of memoirs, photos and more from Arsenal fans around the globe who experienced the unbeaten story. This is OUR story.
