A boisterous midfield player for Arsenal in the late 90s, Vieira epitomised the modern midfielder with his galloping gait, muscular approach to defensive work and ability on the ball. His dominant displays in midfield for Arsenal allowed players such as Bergkamp and Overmars to get on with what they did best - attacking - knowing Vieira was more than capable of controlling the middle of the park with his French partner, Manu Petit.
For: Powerful, domineering
Against: Didn't score a great deal but then that wasn't his job
