A few more from the bad old days: Ian Allinson, Kevin Richardson, Vladimir Petrovic, Peter Nicholas, John Lukic, Viv Anderson.

More recently, Silvain Wiltord deserves a mention.

Ah Brian Marwood. An absolute legend in my eyes! :barscarf:

I was Mascot against West Ham and Upton Park and Lukic fogort his kit bag and had to back to the changing rooms. Rather play passes together Marwood opted to go in goal and I took shots at him!!!

Lukic returned soon enough for Marwood to finish his warm up.

Kolo Toure

Pillar of strength and commiment at The Arsenal, often over looked for the captains job and one of the only players left in the squad that knows what winning feels like.

I also thhink he is underrated in the prem.

Controversial... but probably true. Gallas is overated too, to be honest. :(

Our defensive centre leaks more goals than a stuck pig leaks blood and piss all over the backyard that time when I was 19... :-P :-P :-P :wink:

Toure underrated? :shock: I actually think he's overrated!

He works hard, plays with passion, is a good tackler and he's quick...but, I don't think he has a defenders brain. He reacts to things instead of anticipating them..and the amount of times he gets a rush of blood to the head and goes for balls he shouldn't, is quite unbelievable.

I like the bloke, but I'm still not convinced he's good enough; he's 27 now, so age and experience can't be used as an excuse anymore.

I'm probably in the minority though..so, yey...Toure for captain :roll: :lol:

Keown, an awesome man & and a fantastic defender. We really miss a player like him today. Aplayer the opponents fear to come up against.

Wenger brought him back to train even after he retired to show bthe young players one or two things. Apparently Senderos just shook his head and walked off when Keown tried to talk to him..he should have been thrown out of the club just for doing that in my opinion!
