2. Patrick Vieira
One of the hardest tacklers in the game and certainly not one to back down, it was quite a shock to see the French midfielder sold to Juventus in 2005 and when the Old Lady were relegated for their part in the match-fixing scandal, he joined Inter Milan and there he enjoyed some of his best years. He won three Serie A titles and the even won an FA Cup with Manchester City when he joined them in 2010.
