I remember when Jeffers was the next big thing.

Big ears is all he really brought to the table.

I can’t really fault Wenger. Incidentally I just went and confirmed on Wikipedia - the 1998 FA cup final team had an all-English back 5 plus the Razor, and Wright on the bench.

It was after those veterans all retired that the team took a rather French turn.

Viera, Petit, Wiltord and Henry all came into the team while the Old Guard were still there. Bould/Adams/Dixon/Winterburn/Seaman & Keown all played into their mid-thirties and well, Razor (the Romford Pele) is a legend.
