The hidden link between Arsenal and Coventry

Two of football's founding figures share an unexpected final resting place in Coventry. Willie Stanley, recognised as a founder of Coventry City, and David Danskin, who established Arsenal, are both buried in London Road Cemetery.

This episode of Secret Coventry explores the lives of the two men, how they helped shape clubs that would go on to become major names in English football, and the remarkable circumstances that brought them both to Coventry. It also tells the story of how David Danskin's long-forgotten grave was rediscovered and restored after decades of neglect, renewing interest in a fascinating chapter of football history.
