Arsenal transfer news
GK: David Seaman
A goalkeeping great for Arsenal and for England, David Seaman is a fairly non-controversial choice in this lineup, though ahead of ‘Invincible’ Jens Lehmann…
DR: Lee Dixon
Another Arsenal legend, Lee Dixon is one of the finest right-backs in the club’s history, forming a rock-solid defence alongside Keown.
DL: Ashley Cole
Despite later playing for rivals Chelsea, Ashley Cole was a big player for Arsenal and makes it into Keown’s team.
DC: Tony Adams
Arguably Arsenal’s greatest ever captain and defender, Tony Adams beats Keown to a place at centre-back in this XI.
DC: Sol Campbell
One of Arsene Wenger’s best ever signings, Sol Campbell was a rock for the Gunners when he joined from rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
MC: Patrick Vieira
One of the best midfielders the Premier League has ever seen, Patrick Vieira is an obvious choice in this star-studded lineup from Keown.
MC: Emmanuel Petit
A great partner for Vieira, Emmanuel Petit made quite an impression in his short time at Highbury, playing alongside Keown in Arsenal’s 1998 double-winning team.
MR: Robert Pires
Undoubtedly one of Arsenal’s most skillful players in the Invincibles era, Robert Pires was a joy to watch and is an unsurprising choice for this team.
ML: Marc Overmars
Controversially in ahead of Freddie Ljungberg, Marc Overmars had one truly great season for Arsenal before fading slightly and leaving for Barcelona after just three seasons.
FC: Dennis Bergkamp
One of Arsenal’s all-time greats, Dennis Bergkamp is selected upfront as another of Keown’s many great former team-mates.
FC: Thierry Henry
Arsenal’s all-time leading scorer, it’s no surprise to see Thierry Henry in the side, though some Gunners fans may feel Keown should’ve found a place for Ian Wright!
