Biography
Biography Timeline
Groves was born in Bow, London, but as a boy he played for Cornard Dynamos in the village of Great Cornard on the Suffolk – Essex border. Groves then had a trial with Wolves as a schoolboy before signing as an apprentice for Colchester United in 1981. He turned professional a year later and over the next four seasons he played 142 league games for the U’s, scoring 26 goals.
In September 1986, he signed for Arsenal for £50,000, becoming the first signing by new manager George Graham. In his first season at the club he helped set up Charlie Nicholas for the winner in the 1987 League Cup final, dribbling past three Liverpool players before laying the ball off.
He moved to Southampton in 1992 for £750,000 but only played 15 times in two years before retiring from professional football at the age of 28, following two serious Achilles tendon injuries.
He still has a large following, with a fan club and website devoted to him. In October 2006, Groves published his autobiography, entitled We All Live in a Perry Groves World ( ISBN 1-84454-319-6). With it came an Arsenal fans’ campaign on the web to purchase the book, in an attempt to outsell former Arsenal defender Ashley Cole’s autobiography, My Defence, which was out at the same time. His autobiography has since outsold that of Cole.
In 2010, Groves signed as a non-playing substitute for new club Chester after Colin Murray, then of BBC Radio 5 Live, offered the new club £2,000 if they named Groves and Pat Nevin as unused substitutes at every game in the 2010–11 season.
