Undoubtedly one of the most gifted players in our history – and leading global talent of his generation – Dennis had already enjoyed a remarkable Gunners career by the time the 2003/04 season started.
Our Dutch No10 joined in a high-profile move from Inter Milan in 1995, and was voted both PFA and FWA Player of the Season as we won the double in 1997/98.
He was instrumental again in our 2001/02 double-winning campaign scoring 14 goals in all competitions, and had racked up five major honours, 316 appearances and 104 goals by the start of the Invincible season.
