Season summary
Fans favourite David Rocastle had been sold to Leeds for £2 million, however George Graham had signed one of Denmark's European championship-winning heroes John Jensen, from Brøndby for £1.1 million. In February 1993 Graham paid Everton £2 million to re-sign Martin Keown, the England centre back who had left Highbury for Aston Villa shortly after Graham's arrival in 1986. Though he was cup-tied and couldn't play in the cup games.
Arsenal went from being a title-chasing team to a formidable cup-team, and with a more pragmatic, game-by-game approach, finished the 1992/93 season with both domestic cups. Arsenal topped the table in early November, but it did not last as it was a losing league season, in which they finished tenth, didn’t average a goal a game, and played dire football, especially at home, yet ended the season in historic glory. The European qualification would prove important, ensuring Arsenal qualified for the European Cup Winners Cup, and were thereby positioned for even more success.
The end of the season saw the departure of long-serving Irish defender David O'Leary, who, to date, holds the record for the most appearances, 722, for Arsenal.
