6. Liam Brady
While Cliff Bastin was robbed of his prime due to WWII, Liam Brady’s prime was wasted as he was simply born in the wrong era. Known for his close control, excellent technique, creativity, and flair, Liam Brady didn’t have a left foot. Instead, he had a magic wand with which he would do magical things. Brady was a breath of fresh air. In a defensive minded and organized team, it often took a flash of brilliance from Brady’s left peg to spark the dying embers into life.

Born too late for the Bertie Mee era, but too early for the successes under George Graham, Brady was simply unlucky. His skill and talent didn’t fit the side he was a part of. Consequently, he only won one FA Cup while in the confines of Highbury. His talent was far superior to the side he found himself in, evidenced by his naming of Arsenal’s Player of the Season three years in a row and winning PFA Player of the Year for the 1979 season.
Brady, with the allure of European football, left after the 79/80 season, moving to Italian giants Juventus. He displayed his quality while in Turin, winning two league titles in two seasons. While he went on to play until 1990, Brady is best known for his performances in the Arsenal shirt. He has since returned as a scout and Head of Youth Development after Arsene Wenger’s appointment. Brady’s legacy is not just his wonderful play, but the inspiration and the experience he has given to all the young talents that have graduated in recent years.
