8. Patrick Vieira
The greatest midfield enforcer of the Premier League era, and one of the greatest of all time, Arsenal have never looked the same since Patrick Vieira left the club. He provided the team with drive, leadership and power in the midfield that Arsene Wenger has never quite replaced since the Frenchman’s departure.
He spent nine seasons in the Premier League with Arsenal, captaining them for three of those seasons as they won three Premier League titles and four FA Cups, with Vieira forming a legendary rivalry with Roy Keane. Vieira made the PFA Team of the Year in six of his nine seasons at Arsenal and briefly returned to the Premier League with Manchester City at the end of his career.
