On This Day – 06 September

6 September 1913: First match at Highbury. Arsenal beat Leicester Fosse 2-1 in what was the first opening day victory since 1906

Football F.A. Cup 6th Round 1957: Arsenal V David Herd heads Arsenal’s first goal.

6 September 1958: Arsenal beat Everton 6-1 away. Looking back it seemed like a freak result, (until 15 August 2009 when it happened again). Herd scored four, Groves and Bloomfield the others. Amazingly three days later Arsenal beat Bolton by the same score – the only time this has happened in Arsenal’s history.
