  • Kevin Campbell (04/02/1970)

The Academy graduate scored 60 goals in 224 games for Arsenal in 7 years with the club. Was a part of the squad that won Cup Winners' Cup in 1994, scoring a crucial goal in the semi-final against PSG.

  • Eddie Kelly (07/02/1951)

The Scotsman was a vital part of the legendary 1971 Double-winning squad. The midfielder scored 19 goals in 222 games between 1969 and 1976. Kelly now lives in Torquay and works for a double glazing firm.

  • Lucas Torreira (11/02/1996)

The Uruguayan failed to build on his first impressive first season at Arsenal and as he lost his form. He moved to Atletico Madrid in a bid to feature more regularly and is still a popular figure among Arsenal fans.

  • Bacary Sagna (14/02/1983)

Sagna was the first-choice rigth-back under Arsene Wenger between 2007 and 2014 before he joined Manchester City on a free transfer. Montreal Impact, which he left in January 2020, has been the last club in his career so far,

  • Denilson (16/02/1988)

Managed 11 goals in 159 games for Arsenal before returning to Brazil after 5 years with the Gunners in 2011. In August 2020, Denilson returned to Europe, signing a one-year contract with the Maltese top division side Sliema Wanderers.

  • John Radford (22/02/1947)

Radford is one of the greatest players in Arsenal history. The forward scored 149 goals in 481 appearances for the club between 1962 and 1976.

  • Eduardo (25/02/1983)

His football career was massively hit by a horrendous ankle injury at Birmingham in 2018. Eduardo still managed to score 20 goals in just 67 appearances before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk in 2010. Legia Warszawa was the last club in the Croat's career before the striker retired in 2019.

  • Emmanuel Adebayor (26/02/1984)

Adebayor will probably never be forgiven by fans for running the length of the pitch to celebrate a City goal against Arsenal in 2009.

Prior to that, he was enjoyed really good times with the Gunners scoring 62 goals in 142 appearances in 3.5 seasons. The striker left Uruguayan Olimpia last summer and is now a free agent aged 37.

  • Nacho Monreal (26/02/1986)

Nacho was our first-choice left-back under Wenger and Unai Emery between 2013 and 2019, making 251 appearances. In August 2019, he signed for Real Sociedad on a 2-year deal. The Spaniard is yet to reveal his plans for the future after his present contract expires.
