Didn't England play there once, against Italy? One of our own players got a hatful and half our squad played.Quote:

Highbury was used as a neutral venue occasionally for FA Cup semis.
The Battle of Highbury - 1934. Italy were World Champions, but it didn't count as we didn't take part, so by winning 3-2, England won the World Cup sort of. Seven Arsenal players played but only Drake scored - Brook of Man City got the other twoQuote:
