The ex-Gunners to have won trophies since Arsenal last did in 2005 with Ashley Cole’s Chelsea success

Sol Campbell – left in 2006

Clubs: Portsmouth, Notts County, Newcastle United.

Trophies: FA Cup, 2009.

Bemused Wenger upon his departure in 2006 to join a ‘foreign’ club, before then hopping down to the south coast and Harry Redknapp’s Pompey.

Yet like when controversially leaving Spurs for Highbury in 2001, Campbell was proven right once again when lifting the FA Cup against the odds.

Gael Clichy – left in 2011

Clubs: Manchester City.

Trophies: Premier League, 2012.

One of a number of players on this list that have left the club to win the league title, which City did for the first time in 2012 since the re-branding of the division 20 years earlier.
