Former Arsenal manager Bertie Mee, who managed the double-winning side of 1971, has died at the age of 82.

Joining the army medical corps after his playing career was cut short by injury, Mee was the club physio when he was surprisingly given the job of managing the side in 1966. He quickly took Arsenal to two League Cup finals (note for younger readers: this used to be a big deal), losing both, before picking up the European Fairs Cup in 1970 - and the League and Cup double the year after.

But things went downhill just as quickly, and Mee resigned at the end of the 1975-6 season... in which Arsenal finished perilously close to the foot of the table. He took a break from football before joining Watford as general manager, and finally retired from the game in 1991.
