He is a member of the Invincibles squad, but has ceased to be thought of fondly in my eyes.
Sol Campbell walked out of Arsenal and Highbury at half time of a match where he was brutally slaughtered by West Ham.
He subsequently asked for his release on the condition that he would go abroad to prolong his football career. He signed with Portsmouth soon after.
The fact that he's being allowed to do this is solely down to the affection that Wenger feels for his older players.
He claimed, during his 13th anniversary interview, that 99% of his players have been a joy to work with. Any guess as to who falls into that 1% bracket? I'll venture a guess that two of them are English, but they're not Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole.
