Maria Petri tribute voted best programme cover

A black armband rests atop an official matchday programme memorialising Maria Petri

Our tribute to legendary supporter Maria Petri has been voted our favourite programme cover of the 2022/23 season. 

Maria graced the matchday cover at our first Women's Super League game of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion, following the sad news of her passing in July 2022. A constant presence in the red and white, Maria rarely missed a game at Highbury, Emirates Stadium or Meadow Park, and her matchday songs became legendary with fellow Gooners. 

Elsewhere in the poll, our North London Derby cover came second featuring Beth Mead, Emile Smith Rowe and Thierry Henry celebrating their respective goals against Tottenham over the years. In third place was our final programme of the 22/23 season with a double-page cover centring the 'Found a Place Where We Belong' Emirates Stadium artwork.
