- Ian Wright has shared a photo of himself with nine Arsenal legends on Twitter
- Thierry Henry, Martin Keown and Patrick Vieira attended dinner on Tuesday
Ian Wright was joined by nine Arsenal legends on Tuesday night as they sat down to dinner and relived their glory days.
The group consisted of a number of players from Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ side, who all partook while having dinner at a fancy restaurant.
After their meal, Wright took to Twitter to share the photo, which captioned, “Lovely dinner with the boys,” as the legendary group smiled and shared a joke.
Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Martin Keown were all set to make dinner as two faces left even some Arsenal fans puzzled over their identity.
Sitting at the table, he joins Raity Vieira and fellow indomitable Robert Pires, while Sportsmail’s Keown stands behind him.

(L to R) Back Row: Martin Keown, Lee Dixon, Gael Clichy, Darren Dean, Thierry Henry, Jens Lehmann, Jeremy Alladery, Ray Parlor. Front Row: Robert Pierce, Patrick Vieira, Wright
Former right-back Lee Dixon can be seen standing next to Keon in the photo, with Gael Clichy to his left.
Henry stands front and center shooting the set, directly behind Vieira, with legendary goalkeeper Jens Lehmann flanking him on the right.
The first unrecognizable face from the group standing to Henry’s left was Darren Dean – football agent and son of former Arsenal co-owner David Dean.
Ray Parlor stands behind Wright on the set photographed with cult hero Jeremy Aladairy sandwiched between Parlor and Lyman.
Aliadiere also looks unrecognizable from his Arsenal playing days as he now sports a shaven-headed look.
Between them, the group has won several Premier League titles, FA Cups and League Cups.
Eight of the group were part of Arsene Wenger’s title-winning side in the 2003-04 season that saw them go through an entire Premier League campaign unbeaten, making them immortalized in club history.

Wright, Parlor and Vieira were also members of the Gunners team that won both league and cup titles in 1998.
Between them, the Gunners’ group of legends have won 49 key honors with Arsenal.
Most of those who attended the dinner now work in the media, including Wright, Parlor, Henry, Dixon, and Keon.
Clichy still plays for Servette and Switzerland and also makes his coaching badges.
Bukayo Saka was among those responding to the image on social media when he responded with a heart emoji, while former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge said: “OG man.”
The photo on Instagram has had more than 116,000 likes, while Wright’s Twitter post has had more than 5,000 retweets and 39,000 likes.
