CB – Kolo Toure
The Ivorian was part of the “Invincibles” Arsenal team that went the season unbeaten and, considering he played regularly at the heart of the Gunners’ defence, it means he was more responsible than most for that remarkable achievement.
Toure also won two League titles as well as making 400 plus appearances for Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool. Even so, his defensive capabilities were never rated as highly as other centre-backs at the time.
