While not the most skillful player in the world, Adams' leadership skills and ability to defend were top class. He was the backbone of both the George Graham side that won so much playing defensive, direct football and the more expansive late 90s Wenger side. Adams was the leader and lynchpin of probably the most effective club defense in British footballing history at Arsenal and was held in high regard as a captain by all the managers he played under.
For: leadership, all-round defensive game
Against: Not very technically accomplished, struggled with a drink problem early on
