Legend: The non-flying Dutchman, Dennis Bergkamp although Ian Wright, Thierry Henry, Liam Brady and Cliff Bastin run him close. His hat-trick against Leicester in 1997 earned him a one, two, three in Match of the Day's goal of the month competition.

Terrace hero: Cesc Fabregas is already Arsenal's natural successor to former captains Tony Adams and Patrick Vieira. The young Spaniard has developed into one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe.

Finest hour: Arsenal's "Untouchables" go undefeated for the entire season to win the Premier League in 2004. That or Michael Thomas' last minute goal against Liverpool which handed Arsenal the title by a single goal.

Lowest ebb: Flu-ridden Arsenal go down 3-1 to Third Division Swindon Town in the 1969 League Cup final.
