Tony Adams is probably Arsenal's best ever defender.
The giant former England captain was a fierce competitor, dominant in the air, superb reader of the game and in developed into a classy performer in possession.
He spent his entire 22-year playing career at Highbury, playing 669 games and winning 10 major trophies including three League titles in three different decades.
Unfortunately, his managerial career wasn't quite so successful and he lasted just 16 games as the manager of Portsmouth in 2008-09.
After that he decided to move to Azerbaijan to manage Gabala FC, but lasted just a season before moving into a role as the club's sports director.
Clearly, he has settled into life in the Caucasus very well.
His footwork was always impeccable.
