		Bertie Mee's feat in taking Arsenal to the League and FA Cup Double in 1971 made him one of the most famous names in the club's history.But his reign began in unusually modest fashion.He even asked for a "get-out" clause in his contract if he did not succeed.
		Mee was born at Bulwell in Nottinghamshire, in December, 1918, and realised his ambition to become a professional footballer with Derby County.
		Bertie was Arsenal's physiotherapist then, but, when Wright left, Bertie took over the job and went on to become a little general, an astute man-manager with a clipped English accent, and an absolute disciplinarian.

		What Mee and Taylor had in common was belief in a rigorous outlook from their players towards all aspects of their lives, as befitted their idea of how professional people should behave.
		Mee sorted out a youth development operation, the celebrated Family Enclosure was instituted at the ground, and Graham Taylor took it upon himself to get out and about in the town.

		England legend Billy Wright managed the club between 1962 and 1966 with little success, but he was succeeded by club physiotherapist Bertie Mee, who would lead the club to success in the early 1970s.
		Mee's appointment at Arsenal heralded a brief period of glory.
		So far, Henry and other key players have shown loyalty to the team and its manager by renewing their contracts rather than departing for the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid, where they would almost certainly be paid greater amounts of money than at Arsenal.

		It studies the club's years in decline, the achievements of the early '70s and the surprisingly swift descent into the relegation battles and in-fighting that dogged Mee's final seasons at Highbury.
		Upright and proud, he remained more concerned with upholding the old-school traditions of 'the Arsenal' than forcing himself into the headlines.
		Mee's style perfectly matched the needs of the club, even if it did not always make him popular with players, media or staff, many of whom cowered in his presence.

		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.

		Although, the brand of football was very different during this era to the delights and exhilarating ball skills we take pleasure in from Wenger’s team, similarities can be drawn to the manager of that famous side – Bertie Mee.
		During a period in Arsenal’s history that was barren of success, Mee guided The Gunners back to glory.
		The previous season had given Arsenal supporters a sign of things to come, with victory in the Fairs Cup (as the UEFA cup was then known) the first trophy won since 1953.
