Bergkamp!! He had class, skill, loyalty, fight in fact everything a legend should have :barscarf:

Rocky, Henry, McLintock and Adams are up there but no one comes close to Dennis :barscarf:

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 c**ts named after religious holidays. :lol:

For me, Tony Adams narrowly wins it. Ive supported Arsenal through his entire Arsenal career, and to see the man overcome the odds to achieve what he has done does it for me. A great leader of men. A winner of so many trophies! A great defender. Just a shame he had such big problems off the pitch.

But I have absolutely no problems with Thierry Henry winning this. Technically, he was the 2nd best player I have ever seen in an Arsenal shirt (after Bergkamp), but combined with his lethality in front of goal and such devastating guile & pace, in his prime, he was the best striker in the world. And to show for it, he has won it all - World Cup, Euros, CL, League titles, FA cups.

Meant Bermondsey mate. Weybridge makes me think of Radio 4, garden parties and pretentious food. :oops:

Sounds right?

I guess we're kind of lucky as fans that we have a such a selection headache, to use a cliche, in the first place.

Im not going to vote because i honestly cant decide but i think O'leary deserves a mention somewhere in the poll

I voted for Tony Adams.

Henry is undoubtedly the greatest player in AFC history, but Adams was Mr Arsenal. Loyal and committed, and stayed with the club for his entire career.

Adams. Bridged the two great modern eras of the club unlike Bergkamp and Henry.

Gotta be Dennis Bergkamp for me, although Thierry Henry is very close.
