3rd season in existence of Royal Arsenal/Arsenal F.C. / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1888–1889 marked the third season of the club that was to become Arsenal F.C. After the flooding of the Sportsman's Ground, they moved to the nearby Manor Field, using the Lord Derby Pub as a headquarters, and the Railway Tavern as a dressing room. The team competed in the Kent Senior Cup (KSC) for the first time, as well as making their second appearance in the London Senior Cup, reaching the semi-finals of the latter competition. David Danskin continued as captain throughout the season.[1]
