History

The Arsenal 100 Club

Led by a committee of Bob Wilson, Frank McLintock and Pat Rice, The 100 Club provides its members with an ongoing official forum to engage with Arsenal, as well as regular opportunities to attend matches at Emirates Stadium and official club events.

Once men’s players reach 100 league appearances and women’s players 100 overall appearances for Arsenal, they are automatically enrolled into The 100 Club. Men’s and women’s players receive specially-designed ties and pendants respectively.

An official launch event was held in November 2013 with a host of former Arsenal legends in attendance including two goalkeepers – Jimmy Rimmer and John Lukic – defenders Billy McCullough, Lauren and club record appearance holder David O’Leary.

Former midfielders included Michael Thomas, whose goal sealed the 1989 league triumph at Liverpool, Invincibles star Robert Pires and Alan Skirton. Also enjoying the celebrations were forwards Tony Woodcock, John Radford and Alan Smith.

At 78, Billy 'Flint' McCullough was the oldest player in attendance.

The then-Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick said: "It is a pleasure to welcome such an esteemed group of former players to The 100 Club. The faces in attendance bring back so many happy memories for everyone connected with Arsenal Football Club.

"It is only right that as we continue to evolve and aim for new honours and success, we remember those former players that helped make Arsenal what it is today. I look forward to seeing members of The 100 Club at future matches."

Bob Wilson, former Arsenal goalkeeper and The 100 Club committee member said: "The club was very receptive when Pat Rice, Frank McLintock and I started to talk through how such a large group of ex-players could still feel engaged and part of The Arsenal in its present-day existence, and we are beyond delighted to be here today at the launch of this very special club.

"Arsenal is a club steeped in history, tradition and class, and I know that every member of The 100 Club is delighted to have a continued official connection. We’re one big family and are very much looking forward to seeing the familiar faces at Emirates Stadium on a matchday and at future events."
