#8 Patrick Vieira
A dynamic midfield player whose ability to bring the ball from defence to attack was a marvel to behold, Patrick Vieira was the captain of the incredible Arsenal “invincibles” side. Vieira led his team by example. Known for his tackling, passing ability and determination, the French midfielder was a natural fit in the Premier League. A combination of height and strength added to technique and composure led to him rapidly becoming a vital cog within Arsenal’s gameplan.

The facts of Vieira’s career speak for themselves; at the time of his retirement he had amassed 107 caps for France (including the ’98 World Cup and 2000 Euros), featured in six seasons in a row in the PFA team of the year at Arsenal, won three Premier Leagues and four FA Cups.
He had a brief spell at Manchester City before retiring but the legendary French midfielder is best remembered for his time at Arsenal. The Gunners are yet to find a true successor to their legendary French captain.
