About Ted Drake
Ted Drake was quite simply a goal machine. He was big, strong, quick and totally fearless. He joined Arsenal for £6,000 in March 1934 and in his first full season at the club he set a record that still stands today. He scored an amazing 42 goals in 41 matches including a hat-trick against Tottenham. His goals helped Arsenal to a third consecutive Championship. In the following season Drake set another record by scoring all seven goals as Arsenal thrashed Aston Villa at Villa Park. Ted managed this goal-scoring with just 8 attempts at goal. The other shot hit the bar and the Arsenal players claimed it had crossed the line. An injury to Drake meant that Arsenal dropped out of the running for a 4th consecutive Championship but he was risked in the F.A Cup final against Sheffield United where he of course scored the only goal. Drake eventually retired in 1945 after dislocating a disc in his spine during a wartime game. His record at this point stood at 124 goals in 168 games, a record that affords him the honour of being a legend of the game.
