William Gallas
Gallas signed a 4-year contract with Arsenal,where he took the number 10 shirt vacated by the recently-retired Dennis Bergkamp.In an interview in the October 2006 issue of the Official Arsenal Magazine,Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger explained the rather peculiar decision to hand him the squad number 10 (traditionally a forward's number),Number three was uncomfortable for him and I had given the rest of the numbers out.In the end I thought it might be a good idea to give the number ten to a defender,because a striker would suffer a lot with the comparison with Dennis.At first I was reluctant to give Dennis's number out,and especially to a defender,but overall I think it's better that way.Gallas made his full debut for The Gunners at left-back in the 1-1 home draw against Middlesbrough on 9 September 2006 and scored his first goal against Sheffield United on September 23,2006.Gallas also scored in Arsenal's 3-0 win against Liverpool F.C. on November 12,2006.Gallas was confirmed as Arsenal captain on August 9,2007,with Kolo Toure and Gilberto Silva serving as joint vice-captains.His first competitive game as Arsenal captain was on 12 August 2007 against Fulham F.C. which ended in a 2-1 victory for Arsenal.In November 2008, Gallas gave an interview to the Associated Press in which he revealed tensions within the squad which were disruptive to team morale, and suggested that Arsenal's younger players needed to show more courage if they were to be successful.He was dropped from the squad for the next match, against Manchester City, and was reported to have been fined two weeks' wages.Reports that he had been stripped of the captaincy permanently were confirmed by Arsenal on 24 November; he was succeeded by Cesc Fàbregas. Wenger confirmed that Gallas still had a future with the club, contrary to media speculation, and Gallas played in the following day's Champions League match.

Gallas your fuckin immense son. I stuck up for you when you were goin through a bad spot after you lost the captaincy and your form was down. It's great to see he's back to his best again.
