3) Geroge Graham

Geroge Graham is undoubtedly an Arsenal legend and one fans love dearly because of his achievements with the club not only as a player but also a manager. But Graham has the honour of being one of the few players to have played for Chelsea, United and Arsenal.

In 1966, he crossed the London divide by transferring from the West London of Chelsea to the North of Arsenal. He went on to make an impressive 227 appearances from forward and midfield scoring 60 goals in the process.

Graham was very versatile and that allowed then manager Bertie Mee the choice t play him up top or as the inside forward ( A position that lies between the central striker and the winger) which freed up the option of playing three up top in attack.

Graham ended up winning the First Division title in 1971 and also the FA Cup that same year. He left the Gunners for Manchester United in 1972 and played for the Red Devils for three seasons.

He did not contribute much to the Red Devils but his experience did come in handy in that time. He ended up coming back to Arsenal as a manager and helped them lift the title twice in three seasons and also led them to two League cup titles and a UEFA Cup winners cup as well.
