What is the history of “1-0 To The Arsenal”?
“1-0 to the Arsenal” has been chanted by supporters of Arsenal Football Club for years. This song is frequently sung following an Arsenal goal.
The phrase “1-0 to the Arsenal” first became popular in the 1970s, when the team was well-known for its strong defensive abilities and Arsenal’s ability to hold a lead. It is widely agreed amongst Arsenal fans that “One nil to the Arsenal” was first sung in the European Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on March 29, 1994. The game was tied up until the 35th minute when Ian Wright put Arsenal 1-0, which then led to the birth of the “1-0 to the Arsenal” chant. The chant’s message is simple: It refers to the team taking the lead and winning the game 1-0 which was a very common scoreline for the Arsenal back in the day.
What tune is “One nil to the Arsenal” sung to?
The chant is sung to the tune of Go West, originally a single by the Village People in 1979.
