England's most capped left-back, Kenny Sansom arrived at Arsenal in August 1980 in the deal that took Clive Allen to Crystal Palace.
Although he had already won nine of his 86 caps, his game was still developing as he added positional awareness to his more obvious qualities of exceptional pace and accurate passing.
He led the Gunners to their League Cup Final success against Liverpool in 1987 – the club's first trophy for eight years.
The emergence of Nigel Winterburn hastened his departure to Newcastle United in 1988.
