Reviews for Invincible: Inside Arsenal's Unbeaten 2003-2004 Season
A gripping account of Arsenal's undefeated title winning season of 2003/4
Owen Gibson
Guardian
Lawrence is a writer who will help the reader to appreciate the football on the pitch with an understanding of how the game is played few can match. At the same time she never fails to appreciate the passion that makes us fans
Morning Star
This is a book that contains some of the most evocative prose I have encountered in a book about football and without doubt solidifies Lawrence's place in the very top tier of sports writing in English. The story and characters are fascinating enough, but it is how they come to life and dance in Lawrence's writing that makes this book such a wonderful telling of an incredible tale
Huffington Post
If you were there in 71 and/or 2004, buy the book. If only now do you appreciate that we probably had four of the six best payers on the planet back then, buy the book and read their words. Let me make it simple. If you are an Arsenal supporter, buy the book
Goonerholic This is research at its riveting best. My only complaint about the book is that it had to end
Patrick Barclay, author of The Life and Times of Herbert Chapman I picked it up and couldn't put it down. Brilliantly depicts a piece of football history
David Dein, Arsenal Vice-Chairman (1983-2007)
A fascinating and engrossing read from start to finish. Provides wonderful insight and anecdotes as well as revealing the dynamics and determination from within the dressing room
John Cross
Daily Mirror
Fascinating for any sports fan and truly a gold mine for Arsenal supporters
Alan Davies
The story of an amazing season wonderfully told through the eyes of the men who made it happen. I can't recommend it highly enough

Perceptive and well-wrought . . . Provides all-areas access to the inner workings and passions of a top club and a famous team
Sunday Times, Books of the Year Unbeatable insight. The inside story of one of English football's greatest teams
Henry Winter
Daily Telegraph
This book is so full of exclusive interviews you'll soon feel like part of the squad. A worthy tribute to one of English football's best ever teams, it makes you long for one more game at Highbury
Shortlist
Delightful . . . a football book that takes the team not the stars as its starting point
