One of many Invincibles on our list of top players. Silva was a top player for Arsenal during one of the best times in our history. Being in the invincible team will stand above all achievements for the Brazilian’s time in north London. With 170 appearances for the Gunners, he made his presence known at both Highbury and the Emirates.

The Brazilian registered 29 goals and assists which is a pretty respectable total considering his more defensive role in the team

When he was injured in the season following the Invincible year, the team depicted just how important of a cog he was in the Arsenal team as the Gunners relinquished their title to Manchester United.

He is also pretty active with fans on social media and one of many Arsenal legends still rooting for the club well after his playing days.
