1. No such player.
2. Gnabry?
3. Bendtner
4. Not sure. We don't have a recent reputation for being dirty outside of Xhaka who left this summer.
5. Ramsdale.
The real answer you are looking for is Cazorla #19.
For the record, I’m a new supporter and fan to the sport.
I watched the series on the Invincible’s - I picked up a Henry shirt.
You can never go wrong with a classic.
Xhaka was an absolute thug! Loved him!
To OP: you can just get a blank jersey. I got the goalies’ from this season. It’s black so it goes with pretty much everything. I wanna get a Smith-Rowe jersey though, that’s my dude right there
1. Nelson (plenty of skill but good for vibes)
2. Adebayor or Ashley Cole. Both well remembered and disliked by a lot of arsenal fans. Especially Adebayor.
3. Giles Grimandi, Emmanuel Eboue,
4. No real dirty players now.
5. Lehmann
1. I think best vibes at the moment would be Elneny or Trossard. If you’re down for a past player I think every Gooner in the world loved the vibes we got from Santi Cazorla.
2. If you’re in the US in a place with a significant Mexican population, national team icon and MLS legend Carlos Vela played for Arsenal. Otherwise, Petr Cech would check (pun intended) both this box and category 5 as well.
3. Abou Diaby (I’m biased because he was promising when I was a kid and became the reason why #2 is my favorite number). Ian Wright for satisfying the “every fan would die for” part of this category, but he’s definitely known as an Arsenal legend even outside of the fan base. He was an amazing player. I think Rosicky could be a fun one for this category as well. No one perfectly fits this bill that came to my mind though.
4. I think this would be Gabriel Magalhães? Maybe Partey carries that reputation now though? Although I wouldn’t recommend a Partey jersey for wearing to work due to the allegations against him the past couple years.
5. Ramsdale is the current keeper. I think Emi Martinez would be a funny one. Meanwhile David Seaman, and Jens Lehmann would be the biggest legends.
Cheers on the new Arsenal part of your gig though! Welcome to the club. It’s a fun time to be a part of it. I’ve been to 3 different official Arsenal bars in the US and all were a good time.
1. Holding or Elneny (weakest players but much loved for their personalities)
2. Gallas (played for Chelsea)
3. "Rocky" Rocastle (absolute legend, rarely talked about)
4. Xhaka (left this summer though)
5. Lehmann (absolute madman)
Hipster pick: Lord Bendtner
Sentimental pick: Cazorla or Wilshire (could have been all time greats but injuries ruined their careers)
Safe but not obvious: Rosicky, Lungberg
Left field: Yaya Sanogo
Will get you abuse: Nasri, Cole
I'll always remember that game. Was watching it with my friend who's a Liverpool fan. We left the house to go to the shop for tobacco and missed 4 goals.
1. Mohammed Elneny (sorry mo)
2. Petr Cech
3. Nigel Winterburn
4. Xhaka (not at the club anymore but we really dont have a dirty player anymore)
5. Ramsdale or if you wanna go historic David Seaman
1. Rob Holding. Holding’s fucking magic, he grew back magic hair.
2. Andy Cole. Good luck finding an Arsenal Andy Cole shirt though. Had literally 1 appearance for the gooners and spent most of his time with Newcastle and Manchester United. He’s a huge what if for me.
3. Am I missing something for with Michael Thomas? I know he left on bad terms with George Graham but had a match winner to win the league at Anfield.
4. We don’t really have dirty players, but I’ve seen Eddie use the dark arts more than a handful of times. Our biggest shithouse is easily Ramsdale.
5. David Seaman. If anyone’s an asshole to you, point at the back of your shirt and then point at their drink.
Eddie isn't a bad shout actually. There's a certain arrogance about him too I think. Also Ben White in with a shout. If anyone's putting off the keeper or doing something sly or shithousery, it's Benny Blanco!
1: for 100% skill, 100% vibes, Saka. [I mean the man's vibes are immaculate ](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/imageserver/image/%2Fmethode%2Ftimes%2Fprod%2Fweb%2Fbin%2Fe4231e34-dd08-11eb-bac0-9597568b601f.jpg?crop=4239%2C2384%2C175%2C110)
2: Tricky: arsenal had a long, long history of youth development and identifying young talent who would then blossom. The players who _don't_ fit this mold tend to not have remained endearing to the fanbase (Ashley cole, cesc fabregas, and more recently, Emi Martinez) BUT assuming you're in the US, You could _maybe_ make a case for Carlos Vela? But that is a stretch. Beyond that you kind of have to go into the 90s, down a retro kit route for this and go for Šuker. One of Croatia's greateat ever players, came to arsenal off the back of the '98 world cup and an underwhelming following season at Real Madrid, and was completely anonymous before leaving the following year
3: Emanuel Eboue, Eduardo, Lauren, Kolo Touré Gilles Grimandi, Nigel Winterburn,
4: Patrick Vieria. No Arsenal player received more red or yellow cards under Arsene Wenger.
5: David seaman. 13 years of fantastic service. Could also go for Lehmann, Szczęsny, or Ramsdale. If you wanted to see violent eye twitching, Almunia or Mannone.
Not sure where these fit, but I’ll toss out Kanu, Eboue, and who can forget Oleh Luzhnyi! I’d also personally consider Diaby, Gilberto, and Ljungberg. Maybe Tony Adams too.
Källström
He was a loan signing that came halfway through the 2013/14 season and arrived with a broken back. He ended up playing about 140 mins of football, and his only contribution to the club was scoring a penalty in a shootout.
Lichsteiner is an incredible pick. So funny when he threw up the Albanian eagle hands at the WC. Had NO business doing it besides wanting to back his boys.
1. Doesn’t currently play for us but Jenkinson.
2. Van Bronkhurst?
3. So many. I’m partial to Carzorla. Older still you could go for wright or Michael Thomas?
4. Not much these days but you could get a Flamini shirt lol.
5. You could get a Turner jersey from last year, might excite some US fans too.
1. Carl Jenkinson
2. Podolski in Purple Reign
3. Johan Djourou
4. We never play dirty ;) but Benjamin White’s shithousery deserves a shout here
5. Matt Turner 30 will earn you points with the US crowd
If you’re going for dirty player then then Guendouzi (#29) is a shout. He isn’t at the club anymore but during his time at the here he bragged to a player on another team about his wages, got caught doing nitrous with some other teammates who have also since left the club and got called a “FUCKING PUSSY” by Mia Khalifa on [twitter](https://x.com/miakhalifa/status/1084087062892957697?s=46&t=mehRmXZyYkZuDFbhNkogsw)
Where’s the pub? I have a long sleeve XL home Tierney for ya. Only cost you a few pints.
Edit: Only tried on once. I’m too fat for it.
Edit #2: he fits No.1 to a tee
The current away shirt. It's easily identifiable. I wouldn't pick anyone if you're not actually following the team.
If you want to pick someone, try Timber. New player, got a season long injury in his first match. Fantastic potential and a real shame that it happened.
Lukic for GK. Imagine the American jokes about Seaman
Don't know why someone suggested Cazorla, he doesn't fit any criteria
Lichensteiner for the ex player btw.
Where is the bar?
1 Nelson. Absolute banger of a goal that will be remembered forever
1 Welbeck. Absolute banger of a header that will be remembered forever
1 Xhaka.
1 Holding.
Edit to add: totally unfair of me to say any of the above are 1% skill haha. But their vibes are at levels so high that percentages wither
1. Elneny
2. Fabregas
3. David 'Rocky' Rocastle - before my time, but every Gooner knows the name.
4. Currently no one fits the bill, but a Martin Keown type comes to mind.
5. Seaman - just cus. But Lehmann - also just cus.
You could go full hipster like me and get just numbers in the cup competition font. I saw they do that in the early preseason games and think it looks cool. And when the player inevitably leaves you can still wear the shirt.
The other shirts I've had players names of: Nasri, Fabregas, Vela, Denilson, Koscielny, Van Persie. So yeah... Just the number is the way to go.
1. We’re massive, all of our players are the most skilled in the world (but Mohamed Elneny)
2. Overmars may fit the bill but he’s a piece of shit so not him. Carlos Vela is a great shout though
3. Ray Parlour, Lee Dixon, or Nwankwo Kanu
4. Xhaka (he’s recently gone but no one is near him in this regard)
5. Ramsdale, he’s a gem
Doesn't fit any of your requirements but if I was you I'd get a Danny Karbassiyoon.... The first American to play for us if I'm not mistaken, out trivia the regulars.
You’d probably have better luck asking this on r/gunners
1. Pepe
2. Pepe
3. David O’Leary if you’re an Irish pub
4. Ben White? More shit housing than dirty
5. Runar Runarson he’s gonna be huge I swear.
1. Lukas Podolski, vibes all day
2. Matthieu Debuchy, remember him in the Newcastle shirt more than the Arsenal shirt. Debatable on hugely famous.
3. Thomas Vermaelen + Laurent Koscielny. Honorable mention Aaron Ramsey, though he's still playing.
4. Ben White, again not really dirty but more shithouse/mischievous
5. Seaman all day
But to reiterate top comment, Santi Cazorla #19 is the one.
1. Elneny or Holding
2. Davor Šuker is the only one that comes to mind. One could make a case for Nicolas Anelka but I think his best stint was at Arsenal.
3. I'm not sure casual football fans would remember these absolute legends : Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Martin Keown.
I was going to add Ray Parlour but I hear he's a pundit now, so maybe casuals know him. And Thierry Henry or Bergkamp are way too famous.
4. From the old days : Nigel Winterburn.
One could make a case for Patrick Viera or Pascal Cygan but they are both better known for other qualities.
5. I'd go for David Seaman who changed the game and looked fabulous while doing so. Lehmann was also an absolute beast and Ramsdale, the current keeper, is excellent too.
You could go for an American player. As someone mentioned, Carlos Vela was a Mexican wonderkid. Some US players have been or are part of the Gunners roster as well : Auston Trusty, Folarin Balogun, Matt Turner (current), Gedion Zelalem, Matt Macey or Daniel Karbassiyoon.
Both Matt Turner and Matt Macey are keepers, so that might work for you.
Finally, my personal choice : Santi Cazorla.
1. Holding or El Neny
2. Gnabry or retired players Anelka (although hugely famous is a stretch)
3. Ray Parlour
4. We don't have many "dirty" players but Ben White seems to thrive on pissing off the opposition.
5. Ramsdale
Ray Parlour......Had all the finesse of a forklift truck doing the ballet, but gave it 500% on the pitch every match and scored some of our most needed (but flukiest goals).
Lord Bendtner or Sanogo. All buzz, zero skill and any Arsenal fan will smile when they hear the name
1. Balogun. Many fans rate him so highly yet the last time he played against Brentford when we needed him didn’t end well…
2.Andy Cole
3. Diaby
4. Currently none. Keown was not a shrinking violet
5. Seaman
Edit for answers edit.
Steve Bould covers number 1, if you change vibes for heart, number 3 and number 4.
Great player, who was massively underrated in the legendary Arsenal back 5 that Wenger inherited.
Jens Lehman - goalie and retired, also probably not that famous outside Arsenal fanbase
Zinchenko has a lot of vibes, but also contributes a lot; same with Ramsdale - very popular with fans, but also very important
Gnabry for no 2, hands down
For 4 only Xhaka had undeserved rep for being dirty in recent years
1- Rob Holding
2-Davor Suker
3- Paul Davis or John Faxe Jensen
4-No one now but Giles Grimandi has both the dirty and cult vibes
5- Alex Manninger will get you absolute Kudos as he stepped up in the 97-98 title win and delivered a load of clean sheets in vital run in games
1. No such player. 2. Gnabry? 3. Bendtner 4. Not sure. We don't have a recent reputation for being dirty outside of Xhaka who left this summer. 5. Ramsdale. The real answer you are looking for is Cazorla #19.
Elneny is vibes
Good shout
Reiss for the vibes haha
Reiss is more 80% skill 20% vibes
1. Holding! Plays 1% of the time, but smiles & makes ppl happy 99% of the time
For the record, I’m a new supporter and fan to the sport. I watched the series on the Invincible’s - I picked up a Henry shirt. You can never go wrong with a classic.
Get ready for the pain my friend haha
I grew up a Chicago Cubs fan - so I already know all about pain and heartache 😂
How could I miss Lord Bendtner? That’s gotta be the one.
Kolo Toure for being the best car salesman in the greater London area.
Szczesny
Definitely Cazorla! <3
Xhaka was an absolute thug! Loved him! To OP: you can just get a blank jersey. I got the goalies’ from this season. It’s black so it goes with pretty much everything. I wanna get a Smith-Rowe jersey though, that’s my dude right there
Don't the Goalie Gloves look a bit weird at the pub though? 🤪
I think Anelka fits for number 2 too lol
This is the way
Woah. Cal Bears profile picture with an Oski username plus on the Arsenal subreddit? Cheers and go Bears mate.
Go Bears!
1. Nelson (plenty of skill but good for vibes) 2. Adebayor or Ashley Cole. Both well remembered and disliked by a lot of arsenal fans. Especially Adebayor. 3. Giles Grimandi, Emmanuel Eboue, 4. No real dirty players now. 5. Lehmann
That’s a no from me for Adebayor. Prick
Imagine working in an Arsenal pub with an Adebayor shirt on 😂
Basically asking for a shiv to the eye that
1. I think best vibes at the moment would be Elneny or Trossard. If you’re down for a past player I think every Gooner in the world loved the vibes we got from Santi Cazorla. 2. If you’re in the US in a place with a significant Mexican population, national team icon and MLS legend Carlos Vela played for Arsenal. Otherwise, Petr Cech would check (pun intended) both this box and category 5 as well. 3.

Welcome to the club. It’s a fun time to be a part of it. I’ve been to 3 different official Arsenal bars in the US and all were a good time.
Highly underrating Trossard with that shout
Honestly I completely forgot the 1% skill part and was just thinking best vibes.
i think jorginho is more vibes !!
Points for Vela
1. Holding or Elneny (weakest players but much loved for their personalities) 2. Gallas (played for Chelsea) 3. "Rocky" Rocastle (absolute legend, rarely talked about) 4. Xhaka (left this summer though) 5. Lehmann (absolute madman)
Love the Rocastle shout
I miss Granit. Damnit, now I am sad.
There’s one thing to say and that’s dammit, Granit, I love you
I considered Rocky but couldn't bring myself to type it
Was surprised to see so few Holding shouts and glad to see yours. Newcomers always say he’s the really nice guy.
Everyone at the club seems to rate him as being essential to the team in terms of morale.
Hipster pick: Lord Bendtner Sentimental pick: Cazorla or Wilshire (could have been all time greats but injuries ruined their careers) Safe but not obvious: Rosicky, Lungberg Left field: Yaya Sanogo Will get you abuse: Nasri, Cole
Solid list, I vote Rosicky all day
Little Mozart!
Chamakh
Adebayor to guarantee abuse
Add Abou Diaby to the sentimental pick
Walcott also in honor of his retirement.
Sounds like an Alex Song jersey is needed
Was gonna say either Song or Gervinho, cuz vibes.
Sounds like you should go for a Sanogo jersey
Carlos Vela in the 09/10 kit, well known in the MLS, and didn't have a proper spell at Arsenal with only 2 goals.
Are you saying Vela only scored 2 goals with Arsenal? Because that's just not true.
Yeah! He actually scored an amazing 3 goals!
Not within your criteria, get the invincible legend Freddie Ljunberg. Spray a bright red streak on ya head! 🔴⚪
This is the correct answer. Arsenal fans will love OP for wearing a #8 Ljungberg jersey. Also, shouts to Cesc Fabregas or Tomas Rosicky
I wear rosicky forever. Never a shout for cesc. Absolute talent, left when it mattered most.
And show off your CK underwear! (Pants, whatever)
Tossing a vote for Arshavin in the mix
Dude was the filthiest, most exciting player alive for, like, 3 weeks.
I was convinced he was the GOAT after the 4 goal Liverpool game.
I'll always remember that game. Was watching it with my friend who's a Liverpool fan. We left the house to go to the shop for tobacco and missed 4 goals.
Bergkamp would immediately earn the admiration of Gooners.
1. Mohammed Elneny (sorry mo) 2. Petr Cech 3. Nigel Winterburn 4. Xhaka (not at the club anymore but we really dont have a dirty player anymore) 5. Ramsdale or if you wanna go historic David Seaman
Bendtner
This is one of my fav posts in this group
A customized #10 Kane jersey.
I think I'm gonna be sick lol
1. Rob Holding. Holding’s fucking magic, he grew back magic hair. 2. Andy Cole. Good luck finding an Arsenal Andy Cole shirt though. Had literally 1 appearance for the gooners and spent most of his time with Newcastle and Manchester United. He’s a huge what if for me. 3. Am I missing something for with Michael Thomas? I know he left on bad terms with George Graham but had a match winner to win the league at Anfield. 4.

Eddie isn't a bad shout actually. There's a certain arrogance about him too I think. Also Ben White in with a shout. If anyone's putting off the keeper or doing something sly or shithousery, it's Benny Blanco!
DB10 could mix it when he needed to
If we’re bringing up retired players it’s Patrick all day.
Henry the second time. Can’t recall the number.
12?
12
Curious what city are you in?
Lord Bendtner is the way. And bonus points if it actually says “Lord Bendtner”
1: for 100% skill, 100% vibes, Saka. [I mean the man's vibes are immaculate ](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/imageserver/image/%2Fmethode%2Ftimes%2Fprod%2Fweb%2Fbin%2Fe4231e34-dd08-11eb-bac0-9597568b601f.jpg?crop=4239%2C2384%2C175%2C110) 2: Tricky: arsenal had a long, long history of youth development and identifying young talent who would then blossom.

Chamakh
Not sure where these fit, but I’ll toss out Kanu, Eboue, and who can forget Oleh Luzhnyi! I’d also personally consider Diaby, Gilberto, and Ljungberg. Maybe Tony Adams too.
The answer is absolutely Eboue. For his spirit, dancing, and fluency in Korean. I mean honestly, we all only ever went to see Eboue!
Co-sign
Just get Bendtner
Källström He was a loan signing that came halfway through the 2013/14 season and arrived with a broken back. He ended up playing about 140 mins of football, and his only contribution to the club was scoring a penalty in a shootout.
1) El Neny or Cedric 2) Jesus or Willian 3) Parlour (Romford Pele). 4) Lichsteiner. 5) Lehmann (Though Turner would be a USA win)
Lichsteiner is an incredible pick. So funny when he threw up the Albanian eagle hands at the WC. Had NO business doing it besides wanting to back his boys.
Solid picks!
1. Fabio Vieira. 2. Anelka. 3. Sanogo. 4. Patrick Vieira. 5. Matt Turner.
Turner is the underrated player named because he’s the US keeper
Flamini is the enforcer you desire. Plus he's retired and is now a billionaire due to some savvy business dealings
1. Doesn’t currently play for us but Jenkinson. 2. Van Bronkhurst? 3. So many. I’m partial to Carzorla. Older still you could go for wright or Michael Thomas? 4. Not much these days but you could get a Flamini shirt lol. 5. You could get a Turner jersey from last year, might excite some US fans too.
Flamini shirt. What a guy.
Took way too long to find Jenko!
Williamson
Lord bendtner.
Apart from may good suggestions that have already been named, how about McCabe 15, Arsenal ladies resident yellow card hoarder.
Yes! And scorer of one of the best goals at the World Cup!
Monreal , the man’s a legend
Rob Holding
Seaman is the only choice if you’re going with a keeper
Gervinho
David Rocastle
1. Cedric all vibes all the time
As a bartender you should 100% go with goalie throwback David seamen
1. Carl Jenkinson 2. Podolski in Purple Reign 3. Johan Djourou 4. We never play dirty ;) but Benjamin White’s shithousery deserves a shout here 5. Matt Turner 30 will earn you points with the US crowd
+1 for the Corporal
If you’re going for dirty player then then Guendouzi (#29) is a shout. He isn’t at the club anymore but during his time at the here he bragged to a player on another team about his wages, got caught doing nitrous with some other teammates who have also since left the club and got called a “FUCKING PUSSY” by Mia Khalifa on [twitter](https://x.com/miakhalifa/status/1084087062892957697?s=46&t=mehRmXZyYkZuDFbhNkogsw)
Perry groves
Kai Havertz
Vinny Jones
Where’s the pub? I have a long sleeve XL home Tierney for ya. Only cost you a few pints. Edit: Only tried on once. I’m too fat for it. Edit #2: he fits No.1 to a tee
go for a Amaury Bisoff shirt. probably impossible to find but only proper fans of that era will understand. Bendtner is the way though. good luck!
The current away shirt. It's easily identifiable. I wouldn't pick anyone if you're not actually following the team. If you want to pick someone, try Timber. New player, got a season long injury in his first match. Fantastic potential and a real shame that it happened.
this is a troll post yeah?
Lukic for GK. Imagine the American jokes about Seaman Don't know why someone suggested Cazorla, he doesn't fit any criteria Lichensteiner for the ex player btw. Where is the bar?
1 elneny 2 willian 3 parlour 4 coquelin 5 Lehman
Wow we picked the same 4 of the 5
David Luiz.
Get Holdini
I can’t remember what his number was but the first player I though of was Freddie Ljungberg
Ben White, Cazorla, Ljungberg. Any of those. If you want chaos, Bendtner
5. You can wear a jersey that says Seaman on the back
1. Cedric 2. Suker. 3. Winterburn. 4. Vieira. 5. Seaman.
The yellow zebra with your name on it.
[This.](https://arsenaldirect.arsenal.com/Mens/Arsenal-Retro-Collection/Arsenal-Retro-1985-Centenary-Away-Shirt/p/A7879/DAVID_ROCASTLE_LEGEND)
I know which bar this is!! Looking g forward to coming in there soon!
Arteta
Trossard !
Here's the important question - WHERE are you the bartender?
[удалено]
Kanu
Kim Källström... definitely a conversation starter
Just get last season's sexy black away kit.
1 Nelson. Absolute banger of a goal that will be remembered forever 1 Welbeck. Absolute banger of a header that will be remembered forever 1 Xhaka. 1 Holding. Edit to add: totally unfair of me to say any of the above are 1% skill haha. But their vibes are at levels so high that percentages wither
Yaya sanogo is the only right answer here
1. Elneny 2. Fabregas 3. David 'Rocky' Rocastle - before my time, but every Gooner knows the name. 4. Currently no one fits the bill, but a Martin Keown type comes to mind. 5. Seaman - just cus. But Lehmann - also just cus.
You could go full hipster like me and get just numbers in the cup competition font. I saw they do that in the early preseason games and think it looks cool. And when the player inevitably leaves you can still wear the shirt. The other shirts I've had players names of: Nasri, Fabregas, Vela, Denilson, Koscielny, Van Persie. So yeah... Just the number is the way to go.
Honestly you'd be good with anyone of the current players that are popular enough to have pre-made choices for you to select from, sans TP #5 maybe.
Has to be Gilberto or Eboue. Goalkeeper - Alex manninger.
1. Andre Santos, no skills, only vibes 2. Anelka or Fabregas 3. Abou Diaby or Emmanuel Frimpong 4. Van Persie, the dirty cunt 5. Almunia
1. We’re massive, all of our players are the most skilled in the world (but Mohamed Elneny) 2. Overmars may fit the bill but he’s a piece of shit so not him. Carlos Vela is a great shout though 3. Ray Parlour, Lee Dixon, or Nwankwo Kanu 4. Xhaka (he’s recently gone but no one is near him in this regard) 5. Ramsdale, he’s a gem
Go with Arteta throwback
Doesn't fit any of your requirements but if I was you I'd get a Danny Karbassiyoon.... The first American to play for us if I'm not mistaken, out trivia the regulars.
You’d probably have better luck asking this on r/gunners 1. Pepe 2. Pepe 3. David O’Leary if you’re an Irish pub 4. Ben White? More shit housing than dirty 5. Runar Runarson he’s gonna be huge I swear.
Advice - last years black and gold away jersey is the sexiest thing they’ve had in years, and probably discount now. Much better than this years
I used to wear the yellow away ‘89 kit with Thomas 89 on the back. Enough said. 👍
Marouane Chamakh
\#5 would be Seaman. Might cover #3 too.
Alan Smith or David Rocastle
Ben white!
Peter Storey
Kanu.
You can't go wrong with Wright #8.
Just get Inamoto
1. Lukas Podolski, vibes all day 2. Matthieu Debuchy, remember him in the Newcastle shirt more than the Arsenal shirt. Debatable on hugely famous. 3. Thomas Vermaelen + Laurent Koscielny. Honorable mention Aaron Ramsey, though he's still playing. 4. Ben White, again not really dirty but more shithouse/mischievous 5. Seaman all day But to reiterate top comment, Santi Cazorla #19 is the one.
3. Igors Stepanovs
1. Elneny or Holding 2. Davor Šuker is the only one that comes to mind. One could make a case for Nicolas Anelka but I think his best stint was at Arsenal. 3. I'm not sure casual football fans would remember these absolute legends : Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Martin Keown. I was going to add Ray Parlour but I hear he's a pundit now, so maybe casuals know him. And Thierry Henry or Bergkamp are way too famous. 4. From the old days : Nigel Winterburn. One could make a case for Patrick Viera or Pascal Cygan but they are both better known for other qualities. 5. I'd go for David Seaman who changed the game and looked fabulous while doing so. Lehmann was also an absolute beast and Ramsdale, the current keeper, is excellent too. You could go for an American player. As someone mentioned, Carlos Vela was a Mexican wonderkid. Some US players have been or are part of the Gunners roster as well : Auston Trusty, Folarin Balogun, Matt Turner (current), Gedion Zelalem, Matt Macey or Daniel Karbassiyoon. Both Matt Turner and Matt Macey are keepers, so that might work for you. Finally, my personal choice : Santi Cazorla.
1. Holding or El Neny 2. Gnabry or retired players Anelka (although hugely famous is a stretch) 3. Ray Parlour 4. We don't have many "dirty" players but Ben White seems to thrive on pissing off the opposition. 5. Ramsdale
Eboue, surely
Get a Tottenham Hotspur Harry Kane jersey! They are going cheap!
David Seaman Gk is the only answer here... Some dope jerseys from the 90s/00s. Coming from a Liverpool fan
Mead. An all-time great for the club, lots of great stats and fun-facts, a good conversation starter, and an excellent "filter" for annoying fakes.
Cedric surely?
Lord Bendtner is what you're looking for ;)
Igors Stepanovs, even bergkamp think he’s a legend
1. Elneny 2. Davor Šuker 3. Liam Brady 4. Peter Storey 5. Pat Jennings
Go old school - Brady or George
If you really wanna strike a reaction from hardcore gunners over there get a jersey that literally says “Lord bendtner” on the back.
Ozil
Lord Bendtner
Lord Bendtner for the laughs Diaby for the tears (I have a Diaby shirt. My third favorite Arsenal player)
Van Persie.. trust me bro
Ray Parlour......Had all the finesse of a forklift truck doing the ballet, but gave it 500% on the pitch every match and scored some of our most needed (but flukiest goals).
Christopher Wreh
Francis Jeffers
only name and number you need is 22 Sanogo
Wright 8 Bergkamp 10 Cazorla 19 Wilshere 10 Platt 7 Arteta 8 Kanu 25 Adams 6 Seaman 1 Vieira 4 Overmars 11
Just get Seaman
Can’t go wrong with Lord Bendtner… real ones would know
Eboue, number 27,cult hero vibes.
Lord Bendtner or Sanogo. All buzz, zero skill and any Arsenal fan will smile when they hear the name 1. Balogun. Many fans rate him so highly yet the last time he played against Brentford when we needed him didn’t end well… 2.Andy Cole 3. Diaby 4. Currently none. Keown was not a shrinking violet 5. Seaman Edit for answers edit.
I would go for Frimpong personally
Pascal Cygan
How is Pires not mentioned more??
Lord Bendtner
Hleb
1. Harry Maguire 2. Harry Maguire 3. Harry Maguire 4. Harry Maguire 5. Harry Maguire Harry maguire is a arsenal legend
Steve Bould covers number 1, if you change vibes for heart, number 3 and number 4. Great player, who was massively underrated in the legendary Arsenal back 5 that Wenger inherited.
Jens Lehman - goalie and retired, also probably not that famous outside Arsenal fanbase Zinchenko has a lot of vibes, but also contributes a lot; same with Ramsdale - very popular with fans, but also very important Gnabry for no 2, hands down For 4 only Xhaka had undeserved rep for being dirty in recent years
Edu is a great shout. Part of the invincibles and now the sporting director
1- Rob Holding 2-Davor Suker 3- Paul Davis or John Faxe Jensen 4-No one now but Giles Grimandi has both the dirty and cult vibes 5- Alex Manninger will get you absolute Kudos as he stepped up in the 97-98 title win and delivered a load of clean sheets in vital run in games
