Best Arsenal Moment: Keeping fit-again Sol Campbell from regaining his defensive berth in the 2005 FA Cup Final and keeping Manchester United at bay, despite Arsenal being on the back foot for most of the 120 minutes.

Any Other Information: Arsenal moved quickly to sign Senderos in 2002 after he captained Switzerland to the Under-17 European Championship. Touted as the long term successor to Sol Campbell, he has proved a colossus in the Arsenal defence and has formed a formidable partnership with Kolo Toure.
