Patrick Vieira
Arsenal
Born: 6/23/76
Hometown: Dakar, Senegal
French World Cup winner Vieira was born in Dakar, Senegal, but moved to his adopted country at a young age. He signed for First Division side Cannes in 1993, before a dream move to AC Milan.The incoming Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, caused many a frown when making the elegant midfielder his first signing in August 1996, paying £4million for a player who had made only two appearances for the Italian Serie A giants.As well as being a fluent, creative ball player, the tall Frenchman relishes the physical side of the English game, but frequent run-ins with officialdom, have brought infamy as well as success in his time at Highbury.A vital cog in The Gunners' midfield engine, Vieira's aerial prowess is effective in both penalty areas, and he also chips in with the occasional goal.Vieira's no-nonsense performances in Arsenal's double-winning side of 1997/98, led to a World Cup call-up for France 98 and a subsequent winner's medal to cap a memorable season.He was also part of the France squad that won Euro 2000.
