May 14 is the anniversary of George Graham's appointment as Arsenal manager back in 1986.

The Scot won the Double with the Gunners as a player in 1970/71 and ended his first year at the helm with a victory over Liverpool in the League Cup final.

Graham famously won the title at Anfield in May 1989 and guided Arsenal to another championship in 1991.

He added an unprecendented domestic cup double in 1993 and a European Cup Winners' Cup the following season before leaving Arsenal in 1995.
