Arsenal's Invincible squad became instant Premier League legends when they went the whole league season undefeated, but one of their lesser known names has a very different life these days.
Arsenal's win over Liverpool on Sunday gave more hope to the fans, who have been starved of a league title win in the past 18 years, that they could actually challenge Manchester City to become Premier League champions.
Last time the Gunners did manage to lift the trophy it was at the end of their incredible undefeated 2003/04 campaign, making most of those players into all time greats.

Whilst all football fans know the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira and Ashley Cole, even some fans of the north London side would fail to remember Rami Shaaban.
The back-up goalkeeper went on loan during the season, to West Ham United, but also spent a long spell on the bench at Highbury, with Jens Lehmann the first choice keeper.
18 years later and the Swedish goalkeeper, who played 16 times for his country, is now leading a very different life, supplying fruit and vegetables to his home country.
The 47-year-old is founder and CEO of a company called Rami Fresh which imports and exports fresh food from Egypt and he might have the best Instagram bio around to describe what he does.
"I am used to work with the best, now I want to create the best. Import and export of fruits & vegetables from the best farms in Egypt," his page says, and you can't argue with him.
He will have faced shots from Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Freddie Ljungberg, Sylvain Wiltord and the like in training all the time, as well as learning alongside Lehmann.
Nowadays he's seen posing with his produce on social media, having hung up his gloves 10 years ago, following a return to his homeland.
Shaaban's link up with Egypt isn't the first in his life, having played for both Zamalek and Ittihad Osman after initially starting out in Sweden.
He moved back to the Scandinavian country before leaving Djurgarden for north London in 2002, where he was signed as a backup and potential replacement for David Seaman.
The England international left the following summer but Shaaban's five games in the league and Champions League wasn't enough for him to get the gloves, with Lehmann being signed to replace Seaman.
He left the team after the Invincible season, in which he didn't actually make an appearance, before joining Brighton in February 2005.
After his spell in England he went to Norway to play for Fredrikstad FK, before finishing his career at Hammarby. As well as selling fruit and veg, he also works as a pundit on Swedish television.
The former goalkeeper isn't the only ex player from the Premier League who has embraced a huge change in profession after calling time on his playing career.
Thomas Gravesen, who once completed the surprising move from Everton to Real Madrid, has won over $100 million from his poker career since hanging up his boots.
Former Liverpool centre back Daniel Agger has become quite the entrepreneur, with businesses in sewage and becoming a tattoo artist, all whilst also becoming a football coach.
