Thierry Henry, Arsenal Football Club's highest ever goalscorer with 226 goals in his Arsenal career. In his days at Arsenal, the French striker among other trophies won the Premier league twice also playing a major role in the "Invincible" season of 2003-04. Now at New York Red Bulls, Henry truly deserves to be embedded in the club's history forever.
Tony Adams spent his entire playing career of 22 years as a defender at Arsenal. He is considered one of the greatest Arsenal players of all time by the club's own fans and was included in the Football League 100 legends. With Arsenal, he won four top flight division titles, three FA Cups, two Football League Cups, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and three FA Community Shields. A statue honoring Adams was unveiled at Emirates stadium.
Herbert Chapman was manager of Arsenal for nine years from 1925-34. In this time period he helped turn a relegation threatened side to a Championship winning side. After his death in 1934, the team made by him won 3 league titles in a row.
