#2 Tony Adams, Arsenal
The only one-club man on this list (sorry Stevie), the former English international spent nearly two decades with Arsenal, making his first team debut all the way back in 1983 and hanging up his boots in 2002.
Adams has the distinction of winning the league title in three different decades as a captain (one of them came before the rebranding of the first division to the Premier League). He was made the captain of Arsenal at the age of 21, and he remained the captain for the next fourteen years right up to his retirement, leading the Gunners to glory and fame.
One of the greatest defenders in English football history, Adams had a statue of himself unveiled outside the Emirates in 2011 - that alone tells you how important the player is in the history of the Gunners.
Looking at it from a statistical point of view, Adams has led Arsenal to eleven honours which include three Premier Leagues, and one first division title alongside three FA Cups. The Champions League is the only trophy that eluded this gifted centre-back.
The 50-year-old has been included in the Premier League Team of the Century and has various other accolades to his name. An unquestionable inclusion on this legendary list.
