By DENNIS HOLLOWAY

(In an interview with Eric Nicholls)

I first watched the Gunners back in 1942. They were playing West Ham at Upton Park. I was a kid of twelve, and my brother had taken me as a treat. Treat? Yes, it was my first professional football match. I remember the team now. George Marks was in goal, George Male and Laurie Scott the full backs, Jack Crayston (now assistant manager). Bernard Joy and Ernie Collett made up the half back line, and Leslie Jones, George Drury, big Leslie Compton, Cliff Bastin and Horace Cumner were in attack.
