The 76-year-old’s heart attack followed a bout of pneumonia, the club said.
A statement from the club read: “Peter was taken ill at home on Friday and is currently
being treated in hospital. He is making a good recovery.
“The club wishes Peter a full and speedy return to health and our thoughts are with him and
his family at this time."
Hill-Wood has been chairman of the club since 1982, and is a former vice-chairman of the
Hambros Bank.
He is the third member of his family to serve as Arsenal chairman, following on from his
father Denis (1962-1982) and his grandfather Samuel, who had two separate spells in the
role between 1929 and 1936 and from 1946 to 1949.
