Where are they now? The 14 fringe players from Arsenal’s Invincibles

Few would struggle to reel off the stars of the Arsenal team which went a full Premier League campaign unbeaten, but what about the fringe players who helped out that season?

Lehmann, Lauren, Campbell, Toure, Cole, Pires, Gilberto, Vieira, Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Henry. When we think of the Invincibles, this is the team we all remember, with Ray Parlour, Sylvain Wiltord, Edu and one or two other big names supplementing things.

But there were also several lesser names who turned out for the club that season. We’ve taken a look back at all those who made fewer than 10 appearances that season to see how things have panned out for them since.

The ‘fox in the box’ played just 13 minutes in the 2003-04 season, replacing Dennis Bergkamp an hour into the Community Shield before picking up a straight red card for kicking out at Manchester United’s Phil Neville.

He subsequently returned to Everton on loan, failing to score a single league goal, and left Highbury for good in the summer.

Since retiring in 2013, the England international striker has moved into coaching and was most recently employed by League One side Ipswich Town. He left Portman Road in December 2021 after the sacking of Paul Cook.

Like Jeffers, Van Bronckhorst only featured in the Community Shield before being loaned out – but to Barcelona rather than Everton.

And his stint in Spain was rather more successful than Jeffers’ at Goodison, earning him a permanent move to Camp Nou.

The Dutchman finished his playing career with Feyenoord, hanging up his boots in 2010, and entered management with Feyenoord.

He is the current boss of Rangers and has guided his side to the final of this season’s Europa League, cementing his place in Ibrox folklore.
