  After officially leaving Royal Arsenal in 1892, mechanical engineer and club co-founder David Danskin spends a few years as a referee before starting a bicycle manufacturing at the turn of the century. He then moves to Coventry in 1907 to work for the Standard Motor Company, but injuries from his playing career results in early retirement. After numerous health issues he passes away in a hospice in Warwick, aged 85. He saw Arsenal grow from a simple works team he created in a pub on Christmas Day 1886 to one of the country's biggest clubs. He saw the move to Highbury. He saw the 1930s Chapman era. He saw it all.
