Arsenal Notable Captains – Martin Odegard

So who are the recent most notable captains? Well, Martin Odegard is the most recent notable captain.

Before Odegard, Aubameyang comes first in our mind when we talk about the list of Arsenal Notable Captains. He signed for Arsenal for a then-club-record fee of £56 million in 2018. He made his debut for Arsenal against Everton in the 5–1 home victory.

The Gabon international was in good form in 2018-19. He became the first player to reach 10 goals in the Premier League that season. He scored his first Arsenal hat-trick in 2019 and the Gunners made into the final of the Europa League. It was the club’s second European final in thirteen years and he also become the first Arsenal player to score a hat-trick in the semi-finals of a European competition.

Next season, he won FA Cup and Community Shield. He was named Player of the month in September. After two months, he was named as the new Arsenal captain under the head coach Unai Emery. He is the quickest player to reach 50 goals for the club in the Premier League era and also became the sixth-fastest to 50 in the Premier League.

He also ended the season with 22 league goals, one behind Jamie Vardy, the winner of the Golden Boot, and tied with Danny Ings for second place. Aubameyang scored both goals in a 2–0 win against City in the FA Cup semifinal and later, Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2–1 in the final. He became the first African to win the FA Cup as a captain. The Gabon man scored a goal in a penalty shoot-out win against Liverpool in the Community Shield.

He was left out of the starting lineup in 2021 against Tottenham, the manager citing disciplinary reasons. For one more time in 2021/22, he was omitted from the squad against Southampton, with manager Mikel Arteta citing disciplinary reasons. Three days later, the Gabon international was stripped of the captaincy role.

Arsenal Notable Captains – Tony Adams

The defender is a legend at North London. Adams’ devotion to Arsenal is such that he played for the club his entire professional career, making 669 appearances over the course of 19 years.

Adams also earned 66 caps for England winning 4 League titles, 3 FA Cups and 2 League cups. He was born on 10 October 1966 and is still a massive figure at the Emirates as he rightfully should be.

Standing at 6 feet 3 inches tall, Adams was not only a great leader on the pitch but also one of the best defenders in the world during his time. Taking on the armband in 1988, he has the most number of games under his belt as the Gunners captain. He is a legend among all Arsenal notable captains.

Arsenal Notable Captains – Patrick Vieira

Patrick Vieira is one of the best defensive midfielders in the history of football but also one of the most influential figures at Arsenal.

The French midfielder arrived at North London in 1996 and went on to appear in 279 League games for the club. He also captained the team under Arsene Wenger for 3 seasons, succeeding Tony Adams into the position.

It is a popular belief amongst most Arsenal fans that Cesc Fabregas is the club’s youngest captain ever. He is also favourite among Arsenal notable captains. However, to clear everyone’s misconception, Terry Neill is the Gunners’ youngest ever captain at 20 years and 102 days.

He officially took over as the club’s leader during the summer tour at the end of the 1961-62 campaign. The Daily Mirror even published a story on 14 August 1962 about the Northern Irishman’s new position at the Highbury.
