Patrick Vieira
Arsenal 1996-2005, Juventus 2005-Present
With Juventus: 33 Appearances, 4 Goals
The former Arsenal captain will need no introduction to Gunners
fans. Patrick made over 400 first team appearances for Arsenal,
with three years as captain and was instrumental in the Club
winning three Premiership titles and the FA Cup on four occasions.
Patrick left for Turin in the summer of 2005.
Thierry Henry

With Juventus: 20 Appearances, 3 Goals
Following eye-catching perforamces for Monaco and the French
national team in the 1998 World Cup, Thierry moved to Juventus in
January 1999. Juve's manager Marcello Lippi resigned shortly
after Henry's arrival and new boss Carlo Ancelotti had no place
for the the young then-winger in his future plans. After only a
relatively small number of games for the 'Bianconeri'
Thierry moved to Highbury on August 3, 1999, two weeks before his
22nd birthday.
David Platt

With Juventus: 28 Appearances, 4 Goals
After leaving Aston Villa in 1991 David appeared for Bari, Juventus
and Sampdoria in the Italian League. During his time in Turin he
won the UEFA Cup in 1993 before picking up further honours after
moving to Arsenal in 1995. In his three years at the Club, David
won the Premiership and FA Cup as part of the 1998 'double'
winning side.
Liam Brady
Arsenal 1973-1980, Juventus 1980-1982
With Juventus: 76 Appearances, 15 Goals
After seven years of sterling service with the Club, Liam
'Chippy' Brady broke Arsenal hearts when he left to join
Juventus on August 1, 1980. In his time at the Turin club Liam
picked up back-to-back Italian League titles. He is most
fondly remembered by Juve fans, who still regard him as a hero, for
scoring the goal that won them the 1982 'Scudetto'.
