WRIGHT SIGNING; WRONG ATTENDANCE

24th September 1991 Arsenal paid Crystal Palace £2.5m for forward Ian Wright, with many doubting the wisdom of paying a then, club record fee for a player not far off his 28th birthday. But Wrighty scored a hat-trick on his Arsenal League debut and went on to score 185 goals in 288 first team appearances, a Gunners record until Thierry Henry came along.

and on the 24th September 1991
Just 2,081 turned up for the Second Round, Wimbledon v Peterborough, League Cup tie at Selhurst Park, the lowest ever home attendance for a top-division club in the competition. Posh won 2-1.
