Part Seven highlights arguably the least celebrated but most important element of George Graham’s shift to European readiness – the midfield engine. While big names still adorned the attack and the back line, Graham overhauled the midfield to make it more physical and workmanlike, erring on the side of control. This episode also highlights the semifinals against PSG in the Cup Winners Cup tournament. “One-Nil to the Arsenal” recounts the 1994 European Cup Winners Cup season and victory in eight parts.

Part Six explores the group of players most identified with that team and the entire George Graham era – the defense. Known as “The Famous Back Four,” Arsenal back line that season featured a group of players that would all, in their own right, become club legends. The team’s defensive prowess went so deep that some fans called it “The Famous Back Five” because of a legendary goalkeeper in his own right. There may be no unit more responsible for Arsenal’s European win and overall team identity. “One-Nil to the Arsenal” recounts the 1994 European Cup Winners Cup season and victory in eight parts.

Part Five examines the change in Arsenal’s attacking makeup. Under George Graham, and during the 1989 and 1991 domestic title winning seasons, Alan Smith was a Golden Boot winner and the team had a potent attack. But, as Graham shifted the squad’s identity to succeed in Europe, much of the scoring focus was on one man – Ian Wright. During the Cup Winners Cup winning campaign, however, the attacking flare of Kevin Campbell and others was on display at various points throughout the season. Most importantly, on the European trail. Part Five examines the attack and how it produced when most needed.“One-Nil to the Arsenal” recounts the 1994 European Cup Winners Cup season and victory in eight parts.
