The french world cup winner Patrick Vieira ,ad joined Arsenal from A.C.Milan for a small fee f 3.5 three and a half million pounds,just imagine after nine years and t thirty years o age,he was sod to Juventus for a sum of 13.5 thirteen and a half million pounds.
He joined Arsenal in the year 1996,a few months before the arrival of Arsene Wenger from Japan..
But what was the first impression cast on the team mates of Arsenal that day.John Hartsonsays he wasa shy smiling youngster who spoke little due to the language problem and he never did look like a footballer skinny legs ad e had lanky long legs
But on the pitch he was a real monster did nt ask for mercy and never gave any mercy, he started attacking and tacking from the first day onwards Tony Adams ,Martin Keown and Lee Dixon had tough time on the pitch.
He as a leader on the pitch and he did have disciplinary troubles with ten red cards at Arsenal..
But his fights with Roy Keane are very well remembered by football fans. world over.
Honestly football has never produced such leaders of the club on the pitch since these two icons.
