Yep sorry to cheat but Im gonna do a team of the last ten years too !

1) SEAMAN
2)DIXON
3)WINTERBURN
4)VIEIRA
5)KEOWN
6)ADAMS
7)PIRES

WRIGHT
9)HENRY
10)PETIT
11)OVERMARS

SUBS - LEHMANN-TOURE-FABREGAS-LJUNBGERG-BERGKAMP

Where do I start ? The back line was a unit so Ive left it as one, The midfield pairing of Vieira and Petit was frightening. Always hunted in a pack and if you was lucky enough to get past one then the other one was right next to him ! The two wide men , Ok they didnt like getting tackled but the pace and movement of them two plus all the goals they got gives them a place . Up front I have no idea if it would work and you might have even needed 2 balls for the pair of them but what a thought eh?!! I was even going to play Bergkamp in just behind the front two and leave out a 'keeper as this team dont need one due to the frightening goal scoring ability of it. If we did this a few more years down the line Im sure a lot of the current Wenger boys would get more of a mention too. Also whilst I hate to be picky and loved the guy to death , Anders Limpar left the gunners in 1994. But what a guy ,Just ask Ian Wright and before David Beckham and his goal against Wimbledon there was Anders at Highbury when we beat Liverpool 4-0 if your too young to remember! then try and find it . He was just inside the Liverpool half looked up and bang Mike Hooper who was their 'keeper was beaten . Quality !

I remember that. I was there! On a bank holiday Monday wasn't it? Or was that Man U when Rocastle scored?

I remember getting in and the clock said 2.57. Standing in the Northbank.
Nearly missed it after coming back from a football tournament in Norwich.

Those were the days!

Do you notice everyone has roughly the same 16/17 players?

I was in the East Lower. Id sit anywhere in them days (and still do!) as long as I could get a ticket. Liverpool were in a disgusting green kit and although they were no longer the force that they were before I came out thinking weve beat Liverpool 4-0 !!

Petit

Pires
Henry
Bergkamp

It's a bastard to leave out Wright but ask me next week and I might change my mind! Also, putting Freddie in is because of what he did do, not what he does now. He won us the game at Bolton but it was the first time he's been our matchwinner for ages. Off sick too often now.
