David Court

The vastly experienced right-hand man to Liam, David has an unrivalled knowledge of the Gunners’ youth set-up.

This dates back to his own playing career, when he progressed through the Arsenal ranks to make 175 top-flight appearances in a variety of positions between 1962 and 1972.

David moved on to represent Luton Town and Brentford, returning to the Club in 1996 after a period working in the financial sector and working with the academy ever since.

A shrewd observer of the game whose remit sees him involved in all areas of the academy’s activities - watching games, overseeing training and working closely with young players - David works in tandem with Liam to ensure that Arsenal’s youth system remains among the most sophisticated and innovative in world football.
