Arsenal Football Supporter character jug modeled by Stanley J. Taylor and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, between 1992-1999. Arsenal, the football club, was formed in 1886 as Dial Square in North London before becoming Royal Arsenal, Woolwich Arsenal and, finally, Arsenal. The team moved to South London before eventually arriving at its present site in 1913. Arsenal holds the record for unbroken years in the top division, having been there since 1919. Its finest hour came in 1971 when they became only the fourth team to win the League and FA Cup double. Under George Graham in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the team became known for resolute defending and grinding out results, earning it the tag of "Boring, Boring Arsenal" and also plenty of trophies. Over the past twenty years Arsenal has been one of the most successful clubs in English football, winning two Doubles, the Premier League in 2003-04 undefeated, and in 2005-06 became the first London club to reach the UEFA Champions League final. A team colored scarf forms the handle of the jug.
