The 1932 Arsenal cup final with action replays, and 3 Arsenal stars kicking football into a washing machine.

By Tony Attwood

We’ve recently placed a film including slow-mo replays of the 1932 FA Cup final on the Arsenal History site, as part of our complete review of Arsenal in the 30s.

So, since the History Society website has its own unusual film, why not Untold.

This is Wilshere, Koscielny and Iwobi kicking balls into a front loader washing machine.

I trust you will find at least one of these two videos exciting, illuminating and exhilarating.
