1) Vieira, a monster of a player from day one, his aggression, strength, guts and leadership made him one of my favourite players of all time
2) Henry, flair, skills, goalscoring ability, exceptional player who had just enough arrogance about him
3) Pires again this guy had fantastic flair and score a hatful from midfield
4) Ljungberg, made great runs, worked incredibly hard, scored goals galore a fabulous player who complimented the rest of the team perfectly
5) Campbell, one of the best centre backs in the world when we signed him, really committed, fast, never scared to go in where it hurts and a massive desire to succeed.
The post 2005 lot don't feature for me because despite some excellent performances and seasons they never delivered season after season in the same way as the above.
RVP could have been in that list had he stayed fit longer. Anelka doesn't feature enough either as he wasn't there long enough, likewise Overmars who was brilliant.
