Pat Rice

44 years.

Of the 68 years Pat Rice has spent on this planet, he's spent 70% of it in service of Arsenal - to have a list of the greatest Gunners without him would be downright blasphemous. Having joined Arsenal as an apprentice in 1964, Pat Rice came through the ranks at the club and went on to become one of the most influential figures in the club's history.

When he eventually called time on his role as assistant manager in 2012 due to health reasons, Pat Rice had played 528 games for the club, and won plenty of plaudits as one of the most dependable players to have put on the Gunner's jersey.

His crowning moment as a player came when he was a part of the historic double-winning side of 1970/71, while also lifting the FA Cup once more in 1979. Rice had a brief spell as caretaker manager of Arsenal, before assisting Arsene Wenger to the club's most successful period in its history.
