2) Jens Lehmann – Arsenal
Arsenal’s unbeaten season is one of the most memorable seasons in English football. The team that managed to win the title that year did not lose a single game, a feat that had never been accomplished in the Premier League and probably never will be repeated.
Arsenal were still looking for a solid keeper to succeed David Seaman but their search was unsuccessful until 2003 when they brought in Jens Lehmann from Borussia Dortmund.
Although Arsenal were brilliant going forward, Jens Lehmann was crucial to ensuring Arsenal remained unbeaten that season. The Gunners had some big personalities in defense but Lehmann made several crucial and breathtaking saves during that campaign
Seaman might go down as Arsenal’s greatest ever keeper but if it wasn’t for Lehman the ‘Invincibles would have never happened. The importance of Lehmann in that team will never be downplayed by any Arsenal fan.
