| Robert Pires |
Arsenal
Born: 1/29/73
Hometown: Reims, France |
| The last piece of work the French international winger did before joining Arsenal was to lay on the winning goal that clinched Euro 2000 glory for France against Italy in Rotterdam.Robert Pires danced past the Italian defender to produce a pinpoint pass that gave David Trezeguet the golden goal in extra time to clinch the game and the title of the best team in Europe for France while 24 hours later he was putting pen to paper for the Gunners.A player who joined up with his French team-mates Emanuel Petit, Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry at Highbury Pires originally made his name with Metz before moving to Stade Velodrome and then to Marseille.An incisive player his willingness to run at defenders has them back pedalling and he causes numerous problems for opponents who find it hard to cope with the swift, penetrating runs that he makes. |
