Arsenal will be unveiling three statues of the club's legend. They are, Herbert Chapman, Tony Adams and Thierry Henry. A little insight of the trio.
Herbert Chapman was appointed the club manager in 1925 and within two years, led the club to their first FA Cup final where they lost to Cardiff. Chapman led the club to the final again in 1930 where they won their first FA Cup. The next year, they landed the league title for the first time in their history. They repeat the feat in 1933.
Tony Adams joined the club as a 17 year old in 1984. He went on to make 674 appearances by the time he retired in 2002, with 49 goals. He captained the club for 14 of those years and won 13 major honours, including a pair of Premier League and FA Cup doubles in 1997-98 and 2000-01.
Thierry Henry, signed from Juventus in 1999, is Arsenal's all-time leading scorer with 226 goals in 370 games during his eight-year spell. He captained the club and scooped a pair of Premier League titles and three FA Cups to go alongside his numerous individual accolades.
