2006

Published Arsenal history entries that include 2006.

Forward · 1995–2006Dennis BergkampThe non-flying Dutchman. Dennis Bergkamp arrived as Bruce Rioch's marquee signing and stayed to become the artist of Arsenal's golden age — a second striker of sublime touch and vision whose goals were not so much scored as composed.
Midfielder · 2000–2006Robert PirèsThe silk on the left of Arsène Wenger's greatest team. Robert Pirès glided through the Premier League with a deceptive, gangling grace, weighing in with goals and assists, and was a cornerstone of the Invincibles.
Left-back · 1999–2006Ashley ColeA product of the Hale End academy, Ashley Cole emerged as the finest English left-back of his generation. Rapid, tenacious and tactically sharp, he overlapped with the best of them and defended with a ferocity that belied his slight frame. For several seasons he was simply the standard at left-back in the English game.
Centre-back · 2001–2006Sol CampbellFew signings in Arsenal history caused a stir like Sol Campbell. A commanding England centre-half who crossed north London's great divide, he answered the controversy with imperious defending. Powerful, quick and dominant in the air, he anchored the back line through the club's finest modern era.
