Legendary status should not be measured this way. You either are one, or you are not and all those people listed above were (except for Perry Groves, of course.)












































I voted for Tony Adams!! :barscarf: :lol: :wink:

They are all great players and legends in their own right, but for me, Tony Adams was and will always be Mr Arsenal. :barscarf:

For me personally my all time favourite player is Tony Adams, had a lump in my throat at his final game, the Celtic testimonial...that really felt like the end of an era, was Dixons last game as well.

In terms of talent it is a toss up between Thierry Henry or Dennis Bergkamp, would slightly edge Thierry Henry. Just remember him getting the ball on the half way line and fully expecting him to beat three players on his way. I think it was 03/04 he was top goalscorer and top assister, says it all! A truly one off

Thierry Henry for me without a doubt, being 19 I grew up with him, every single shirt I owned had Him on the back, I have never had a shirt with someone else's name on it.

We're talking about fucking Weybridge Bren.

You might not know this, being an Acton pikey and all, but Weybridge is full of stockbrokers. Oh, and *word censored* named after religious holidays. :lol:

Rocastle was a quality player. Top rate. But he was also a fighter, never gave in, was afraid of no one on the pitch. At a time when flair players were regularly kicked off the pitch Rocky let no one stop him from playing his game and wasn't afraid to mix it. So he ticks the box as a player.

As a man? He cried the day GG told him he was being sold by his beloved Arsenal. Ticks that box too. A true Arsenal legend.

For me, I can't choose between DB10, TA6 and Rocky.

Probably go for DB10. Legend. God. End of. 8)
