Wingers
Both the wingers in this team are from way back in the day. While I would have loved to go with Robert Pires on the left, there was another player who deserves to be named in this squad.
Cliff Bastin was a goalscorer extraordinaire. Until Ian Wright came along, Bastin was the club's record goalscorer with 178 goals to his name. Nobody had scored 150 league goals for the club either until Thierry Henry eclipsed his mark.
Spotted by legendary manager Herbert Chapman, Bastin was signed in 1929 and he would go on to feature in more than 35 games every season in his first decade at the club. Back then it was the wingers who reigned supreme at Arsenal and Bastin made merry.
Bastin was part of the Arsenal squad that won its first ever league title and he would win five titles in the 1930s alone - the era in which the Gunners dominated English football.
On the right is Joe Hulme who played for Arsenal between 1926 and 1937. He and Bastin combined to devastating effect in the 1930s. The fact that he was also a cricketer at the same time playing for Middlesex only made him all the more remarkable.
In 374 appearances for the Gunners, he scored 125 goals. He also played a part in the 1930 FA Cup final which Arsenal won - their first ever major trophy.
Herbert Chapman certainly knew what he was doing when he signed him from Blackburn Rovers for a then princely sum of £3,500.
