A Fan for All Seasons by Laurence Marks

1997 marked the arrival of a new Arsenal manager in Frenchman, Arsene Wenger. In mid-December 1997, a 3-1 home defeat by Blackburn Rovers gave no indication of what lay ahead for the club. Even in early March 1998, with fewer than eight weeks of the season to go, the club trailed pacesetters Manchester United by 11 points. Then an unstoppable run carried them to the prestigious Double of Premiership and FA Cup - achieved by only four clubs (including Arsenal) this century. Long-time fan and TV scriptwriter Laurence Marks kept a diary of the amazing season, following the club's fortunes. From Wimbledon to Kiev, Liverpool to Athens, this is a journal of two years in football and showbusiness, by an insider of both.
Laurence Marks is the acclaimed co-creator with Maurice Gran of SHINE ON HARVEY MOON, BIRDS OF A FEATHER, NEW STATESMAN and GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART and two new sitcoms will be produced in 1999. He was born in Islington, near the Arsenal stadium.
