One of the most original detective stories written in the years preceding the last war was undoubtedly Leonard Gribble's highly successful . ' " Arsenal Stadium Mystery," first serialized in the "Daily 'Express " and then filmed iajt Denham With leslie Banks in the role of Anthony Slade, the author's popular detective.' Now more than a,decade after the story's first appearance, and in answer to many requests for a new edition, the author has entirely recast the story; With the co-operation of Mr. Torn Whittaker, secretary-manager of the Arsenal F.C., and of to-day's first-team players and Stadium training personnel, he has been given facilities for once more taking the reader behind the scenes of the most famous football club in the world. Here is big-tinie League football as seen from the inside ; here are national soccer stars introduced as themselves. |
