#2 Right Back: Lee Dixon
Signed in 1988 from Stoke City by George Graham, he thrived in the Premier League era under both the tough defensively attuned Graham and the more technical Arsene Wenger, he remained an integral part of the squad through the 90's right upto his retirement in 2002. He was also a part of a very successful era for Arsenal, winning four league champion's medals, three FA Cupwinners medals and a UEFA Cup Winners Cupmedal.
His playing style was,to put it lightly, a bit rough. He was a hard and feisty tackler and never backed out ofchallenges. He was unspectacular but very reliable. He also had brilliant positional awareness. In spite of his reputation as a hard footballer, he was no mug on the ball, being famous for his overlapping runs and long passes.
What cements his name on this list though is his longevity. He was 25 when Arsenal won the title in 1988 and 34 at the time of Wenger's first success in 1998. That he played till 2002 is evidence of his fitness and his desire and love for the game.
