15. Frank Stapleton

Frank Stapleton starts off our top 15. His longevity with the club alone was enough to merit serious consideration, as he began his career at Arsenal and stayed with the club from 1974-1981, at which point he moved to Manchester United (boo, hiss).

Stapleton made 300 career appearances for Arsenal in that time span, leading the team in goals for three straight years and, sharing yet another similarity with Joe Baker, formed a fantastic partnership with Malcolm MacDonald.

Stapleton was instrumental to the Gunners FA Cup successes, leading them to three separate finals, including a victory over Manchester United, the team he would later join.

In the end, he tallied 108 Arsenal goals in his 300 appearances, giving him membership to that prestigious 100 goals club.

Let’s get moving. Onward to No. 14.
