It was the team's first season participating in theLeague Cup and they went out in the third round toWest Ham.

Prior to the season, Arsenal physiotherapistBertie Mee was appointed manager. In the transfer business, he brought bothGeorge Graham andBob McNab into the side. He also sawPeter Simpson become a first team regular.

Graham was the top scorer.^[1]Don Howe served as club captain but suffered from a broken leg early in the season, featuring in just one game under Mee.^[2]

Season summary

[edit]

Prior to the 1966-67 season, Bertie Mee had served as Arsenal's physiotherapist for six years. He was appointed manager for an initial 12 months, with an agreement he could revert to his previous position if it didn't work out. Mee's first act in charge was to transfer the sometimes erraticGeorge Eastham toStoke City.^[3]^[2]

AlthoughTommy Baldwin scored four goals early in the season in the League Cup, Mee soon swapped him, plus £75,000, for George Graham fromChelsea.^[4] Mee then brought in Bob McNab for £50,000 fromHuddersfield Town, a then-record for a full back. He went on to be essential in the team for years to come.^[5] Mee also purchasedColin Addison from Nottingham Forest, though Addison failed to make an impact.^[2]^[6] Other players came through the club's own system, such as Peter Simpson who became a first team regular.^[7]

Mee's first season in charge began with a 3-1 win overSunderland before beating West Ham, a team with three World Cup players (Bobby Moore,Martin Peters, andGeoff Hurst), 2-1 at home. Arsenal didn't lose until their fifth match, a 3-1 defeat away toSpurs. Arsenal were inconsistent, at one point dropping to sixteenth place. However, they finished the season out with an unbeaten run of 12 games, eventually finishing seventh.^[2]

Arsenal entered the League Cup for the first time as it now featured aWembley final and automatic entry into theFairs Cup.^[8] However, Arsenal began by tyingThird Division Gillingham in their first game. After winning the replay 5-0, Arsenal were knocked out by losing 3-1 at home to West Ham.^[2] In the FA Cup, Arsenal beatBristol Rovers andBolton before being knocked out byBirmingham City.
