MC: Patrick Vieira
One of Arsenal’s best players ever, and one of the finest midfielders to grace the English game, Patrick Vieira was a one-man midfield who dominated games like few others could.

Starting out at Arsenal and going on to play for the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City, it was perhaps at Chelsea that Nicolas Anelka hit his best form, making a great contribution to the English game.
AML: Robert Pires
A superb player to watch at his best, Robert Pires was a member of Arsenal’s Invincibles in 2004 and is one of the best goalscoring midfielders seen in this country.

A charismatic forward who changed Manchester United forever, Eric Cantona was one of the first foreign players to truly establish himself as world class in the Premier League, providing some memorable moments of class.
FC: Thierry Henry
Perhaps the best striker ever seen in English football, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry tore Premier League defences apart in his time in north London, and is certainly one of the best French players of all time.
