Sol Campbell

After nine seasons as the mainstay of the Tottenham Hotspur defence, Campbell made the controversial move across north London to Arsenal in 2001.

In his first season there, he helped the Gunners to their second Premier League title.  

Campbell was then part of the 2003/04 "Invincibles" team, with his displays at the back being a key factor as Arsene Wenger’s side went unbeaten in the league that season.  

The centre-back went on to enjoy two top-half finishes in an impressive stint for Portsmouth before rejoining the Gunners and then finishing his top-flight career with Newcastle United.  

He is one of only three central defenders to make more than 500 Premier League appearances.
