For Arsenal, it all began on April 26, 1930. 'It' being trophies, of courseā€¦ that was the day Herbert Chapman guided the Club to its first piece of silverware.

Three years after the pain of losing the 1927 FA Cup Final to Cardiff, Chapman took Arsenal back to Wembley and won the cup thanks to goals from Scottish star Alex James and Jack Lambert.
