Arsenal is a very successful club and has been fighting in with the "big boys" (Real Madrid, Bayern Munich) in the champions league for the last 18 years or so in a row. They are known for bringing up young players to be on of the greats, such as Cesc Fabregas, Jack Wilshere or Niall Quinn, but where did they get trained to be the great players they are today?

Introduction to the Blog

Hello and welcome to the blog, my name is Christopher. I have an assignment in Geography to do a blog online and so I am going to be focusing on a topic I am interested in which is football(soccer). Over the next few weeks, I'll be going through different teams(Arsenal, Man United, Real Madrid) and the different areas of the globe their players come from. I'll look through some of the clubs they're connected with and how successful those connections have been.
