10 Best Arsenal players ever

#5 Patrick Viera

Patrick Vieira has taken on near-mythical status at Arsenal, with his departure viewed as the moment the Gunners stopped challenging for trophies. The French midfield general drove his team on with brilliant leadership, breaking up opposition attacks and beginning those of Arsenal, and he was one of the last great box to box players that the club had. His midfield battles with Manchester United's Roy Keane were legendary. Vieira was a central midfield powerhouse and like Henry and Adams, was a former Gunners captain.
