Arsenal 1960–61 football season
During the 1960–61 English football season, Arsenal F.C. competed in the Football League First Division .
Season summary [ edit ]
In the 1960–61 season, the Gunners had a satisfying season where they ended up in 7th place heading into 1961, but a poor run of just four wins in their final 17 games saw Swindin's side end the campaign in a disappointing 11th place and to make things worse for Arsenal supporters, they had to witness their fierce North London rivals Tottenham win the league and cup double.
