Ashley Cole
Time heals most wounds, and with its passing, Arsenal fans have come to accept that Ashley Cole was a fantastic left back.
A striker-turned-winger-turned-left-back, Cole broke through into the Arsenal first team in 1999.
By 2001, he was Arsene Wenger’s first choice.
His pace and skill down the left flank was a weapon for his team, while at the back he was part of tough-to-beat units.
The double in 2002 was a good enough accomplishment, but being a part of the Arsenal Invincibles engraved his name in history.
Cole lost a lot of love and good-will for the manner in which he joined Chelsea in 2006.
It was there, though, that he continued to hoover up trophies.
Another Premier League title, four FA Cups, a League Cup, the Europa League and even the Champions League marked his time in west London. 107 caps for England rounds off a fine career at the top level.
