James MacDonald: The Arsenal 1994-2000
James MacDonald was a Scottish schoolboy international defender whose promising Arsenal career was ended while still very young by cruciate ligament injuries.
On 16 March 1935 league leaders Arsenal travelled to Goodison Park, Everton for a First Division game. For one man it was to be a bitter sweet afternoon as, while he scored an unexpected goal, his football playing career was essentially ended on that day.

Ian McKechnie: the Arsenal 1958-1964
The 493rd player to appear for the Gunners, Ian McKechnie was a converted winger who kept goal in a period of plentiful keepers at Highbury. He found his feet at Hull where a bizarre but amusing orange throwing fad followed him around wherever he played.
Jimmy McGill: The Arsenal 1965-1967
James Morrison McGill was the 516th player to appear for the Gunners. Unable to oust fellow Scot and Arsenal legend Frank McLintock he went on to find his niche as a player at first Huddersfield and then Hull.
This is the final post on the theme of Arsenal and WW1. The past few days have seen the Gunners at War and the Gunners at home
Today we pay tribute on Armistice Day to the players who before the war represented Woolwich Arsenal FC but who weren’t necessarily with the club at the beginning of the War. These men paid the ultimate sacrifice being Killed In Action or dying as a result of the war. We have also included players who received career ending wounds.
Yesterday Andy and myself travelled to the Arsenal media centre for the AISA book event of Geordie Armstrong on the Wing by Dave Seager and Jill Armstrong.
This was meant to be held prior to Christmas but had to be cancelled, and was well worth waiting for as paying tributes to Geordie were Frank McLintock, Eddie Kelly, Dave Seager and Tom Watt as compere.
