Arsenal's red-haired Swedish marauder — an iconic figure in the Invincibles season whose goals from midfield were some of the era's most celebrated.

Freddie Ljungberg was one of the most recognisable players of his era — his distinctive red dyed hair and marauding runs from midfield made him unmistakable. His role in Arsenal's Invincibles season was crucial — his ability to arrive late into the box and score with precisely timed runs produced some of the season's defining moments. He won two league titles and four FA Cups with Arsenal and earned 75 Sweden caps.

His distinctive red hair during his Arsenal years was one of the most recognisable images in the Premier League.
