'Giants' of Arsenal

[Canadian Gooner]

Just noticed this article on Arsenal.com

Who are your 'giants' of Arsenal?

Talks about having 'giant heads' for the final game at Highbury and they want to fans to vote on who the think the giant heads should be. There will be 4 giant heads.

They give a list of nomanies, and they are as follows...

Tony Adams
George Armstrong
Cliff Bastin
Dennis Bergkamp
Liam Brady
Ted Drake
Charlie George
George Graham
Thierry Henry
Alex James
Martin Keown
Freddie Ljungberg
Frank McLintock
Joe Mercer
Paul Merson
David O’Leary
Robert Pires
John Radford
David Rocastle
Pat Rice
Jock Rutherford
Kenny Sansom
David Seaman
Alan Smith
Michael Thomas
Patrick Vieira
Bob Wilson
Ian Wright
Arsène Wenger
Other(s)

Which 4 would you pick to be our giant heads for our final game at Highbury?

 

[mjkgooner]

Tony Adams
Ian Wright
Thierry Henry and of course Arsène Wenger

 

[f4evo]

Cesc
Robin
Theo
Kolo ops:

well in seriousness

Dennis
Thierry
Arsène
??????? = not sure at all, maybe one of Charlie George, Liam Brady, Cliff Bastin?

 

[>YounGunner<]

Bergkamp Nuff said.

 

[Pepe LeFrits]

Chapman, Wenger, Adams and... I dunno. Spunky? Charlie George? It shouldn't be someone who still plays professional football.

 

[South_London_SW2]

My 4 would be .

rocastle (may not be here but i kno he's looking down on arsenal and helping us)
henry
adams
bergkamp

 

[Army of Me]

just the four... how great would it be to see them all parading round the touchline?

anyway, I reckon it would be a cardinal sin not to have...

Arsène Wenger
Dennis Bergkamp
Tony Adams
and
Glenn Helder

...as our 4 heads.

We can't really include any of the current squad because it's a little unfair. Bergkamp doesn't really count as that would be his last ever game.

 

[Canadian Gooner]

I'd pick Henry, Bergkamp, Rocastle and either Adams or Chapman...


There are so many good names to choose from though...Brady, Wright, Vieira, Wenger, plus the 5 I mentioned above.

Tough decision to pick just 4

 

[1970*Gooner]

Golden oldies for me would be Dennis Bergkamp (well his is in a way)
Tony Adams David Seaman Ian Wright

 

[Canuck]

Limited to four kind of sucks.
But I'd like
Wenger and Bergkamp for the final years of Highbury, and 2 from the earlier days, but I'm not the guy to pick them. I'll leave that to the older heads.

Spot on.

 

[maradona]

Bergkamp, Charlie Nicholas, Henry, Merson, Rocastle, Weighty, Adams and Stevie Williams and Brady and Rix and Sansom too.

 

[phonics]

i hate how they make you send an e-mail. The fact that they can't set up a basic poll is embarassing, I could make a better website.

 

[phonics]

Freddy Ljungberg being in there is a joke as well. Yeah he's been a good player but I wouldn't call him an Arsenal legend, Freddy's hair or Freddy's hat, sure but as a player? no.

 

[rich300]

I think they should have the three captains of the 71, 98, and 2002 double winning teams, which I believe would be Frank McLintock, Tony Adams, and Patrick Vieira, then the fourth would be our most succesful manager - Arsène Wenger.

This is probably the only fair way to pick the four men, and nobody can argue with those choices.

Of course Plan B would be to choose Dixon, Keown, Adams, and Winterburn!

 

[regele]

Thierry
Wenger
Tony Adams
David Seaman

I'm not the biggest fan of theese "contests", because there are some people on that list that don't stand the slightest chance, although they made important contributions to our club and they just they might feel that we don't appreciate it. I mean (almost)nobody's gonna pick Martin Keown over Tony Adams and Thierry is already as good as chosen, so they could as well have picked the names themselves, or make heads for everybody[that sounds strange ] .

 

[kamikaze80]

choosing only 4 really does suck. its between wenger, henry, rocastle, adams, seaman, chapman, bergkamp, wright and brady for me. the list is easier if you eliminate currently active players/managers, but i think people's first instinct is to choose wenger, bergkamp, henry, adams/rocastle, which is very skewed towards the recent past. also seems weird to include henry already when hes only 29, tho hes clearly deserving. sooo, here's my four:

wenger, chapman, rocastle, bergkamp.

 

[gun4glory]

As long as Arsène is there I'm good...
Bergkamp should be there as well...

 

[Ratinho]

4?? F**ks sake.

Adams, Rocastle, Bergkamp, Brady.

 

[kamikaze80]

Adams, Rocastle, Bergkamp, Brady.

if we just go with players, id go with this as well.

could be hilarious to see the bergkamp head standing right next to the dutch master himself.
