Ranking the 10 greatest players to retire at Arsenal through history

4. Lee Dixon

Former Arsenal manager George Graham signed Lee Dixon from Stoke City in the January transfer window of 1988. It was an under-the-rader transfer and not many expected Dixon to leave behind the legacy at Arsenal that he did.

At Highbury Stadium, Dixon worked hard and for a long time to earn his place in the first team but in total he made 458 league appearances at right-back. An incredible legacy and to retire at Arsenal was a fitting tribute.

3. Jens Lehmann

Lehmann did not originally retire at Arsenal but the professional he was, decided to come out of his original retirement to help out Arsenal during a time of need. In March of 2011, Lehmann signed a temporary contract with Arsenal until the end of the season to help out between the sticks.

Lehmann showcases his love for Arsenal in the best way and although he didn't *technically* retire at Arsenal, he deserves a place in this list for coming out of retirement to help the club in a time of need. Oh, his golden Premier League trophy stands him in good stead too.
