Arsene Wenger’s ultimate Arsenal XI ahead of 1,000th game in charge of the Gunners

RM – Robert Pires

Arrived at the club from Olympique Marseille in 2000 during a time when Wenger was accused (for better or worse) of building a French revolution in north London.

Pires made 266 appearances for Arsenal in six years at the club, scoring 78 goals and winning two league titles and three FA Cups.
