Arsenal, like many football clubs, have iconic shirt numbers usually reserved for big signings and homegrown talent given the weight left by legends of the past.

For the Gunners, No. 14 stands tall given the ties to their greatest-ever player: Thierry Henry. Other shirt numbers, like 10, might not have the same heaviness to them but still have significant importance given how numbers tie into the sport overall. With the 10, the player most recognised is Henry’s duo up top: Dennis Bergkamp. Though, there is also the likes of the late Kevin Campbell, Paul Merson and many others to wear it before him.
