6. Ashley Cole

Came through the youth ranks at the club and has gone onto be considered one of the best left-backs ever to grace the game, but did annoy fans of the club upon leaving for rivals Chelsea in 2006.

5. Robert Pires

Was bought as a replacement for the departing Overmars and although operated in a completely different way was no less effective, with Pires also scoring a bagful of goals from the flanks.
