Hello Sy, hope you are good, mate.
Here's my 15 +5.
In chronological order.
George Armstrong (run all day for Arsenal and then some more) .
Frank McLintock (outstanding captain, harshly treated by Arsenal at end of career) .
Charlie George (for obvious reasons) .
Liam Brady (superb footballer) .
Pat Jennings (40,000 fee and played nearly 300 games, absolute bargain, great keeper) .
Charlie Nicholas (superb finisher, came to Arsenal as Arsenal's first superstar) .
Tony Adams (He was the man) .
Martin Keown (everything a defender should be) .
Ian Wright (Oh, the memories you gave to me) .
Rocky Rocastle (the words he said: Remember who you are and what you represent) .
Dennis Bergkamp (my wife's all time favourite) .
Patrick Vieira (Awesome, absolutely awesome) .
Thierry Henry (Absolutely no words) .
Robert Pires (Supreme footballer) .
Ashley Cole (best full back ever to play in the prem) .
Robin Van Persie (superb left foot) .
Cesc Fabregas (will come back as manager one day) .
Santi Cazorla (marvelous 2 footed footballer, absolutely class act) .
Alexis Sanchez (lovely, lovely footballer) .
Billy Boy Saliba (imo up there with Maldini, Baresi) .
Substitutions.
Seaman.
Timber.
Rice.
Gabriel.
Overmars.

Morning!
So tough leaving some of those players off - Love Silva & Keown - great list. No Freddie? Thought we all loved him with his red hair. ?
Pires was so special to watch & for a team to give him an ovation said it all..

Too hard to name them all.
I agree with you both, you all stake a claim.

No Stapleton or Nicholas, let alone Lord Bendtner!!

Hello Sparky, mate, hope you are good.
I did put Charlie Nicholas in, I presume you don't mean Peter. ??
I did toy with Stapleton.
Bendtner. ????
