#3 Ashley Cole
Ashley Cole was an Arsenal fan since his childhood and became an Arsenal player when he played his first senior match in 1999. Cole spent seven years with the club and went on to appear in 228 matches for them. He also won two League title and three FA Cups with them.
At his peak, he was one of the best left-backs in the world and one of the most important players for his club. He was part of a solid back four also comprising Lauren, Sol Campbell and Martin Keown. Arsenal's solid defense was the main reason behind their memorable run in the 2005-06 UEFA Champions' League.
Cole replaced Brazilian left-back Sylvinho in the club side and went on to make the position his own in course of time. He was very solid defensively and a very good man-marker. He also quite capable going forward and delivering some delightful crosses.
Cole left for fellow London club Chelsea in 2006 under acrimonious circumstances but there is no denying the fact that he was one of the legends of Arsenal.
