…….. as voted for by you, our bloggers.
During the long football-less summer of 2013 we were able to enjoy articles written by GunnerN5 and put together by Gooner in Exile to create Arsenal’s Greatest Ever Team and squad.
The team would have a manager as voted for by you and players in every position including a bench.
All of the following articles appeared on this blog and we are delighted to save them here for posterity. The players mentioned in the article have been included here to make it easier to find your favourites.

I changed Liam Brady for ‘Geordie’ Armstrong because of club loyalty. Brady only gave us five years before skipping off to Italy.
And ‘Geordie’ Armstrong was a hero for a dearly departed member of this blog, Dandan, so for that reason alone he deserves a mention.
Re Brady. He didn’t want to go, he was sold and was in tears leaving. Chippy has always been Arsenal through and through.
