6. Ted Drake


Unlike Jimmy Brain Ted Drake played ten years after him and played for the London side in the senior half of his career. Drake scored just short of 150 goals for the club and played just over 480 games for the side. He was at the club for a long 11 years retiring with Arsenal at the age of 33. He also made 5 caps with England scoring 6 times. After retiring he had a short lived Cricket career with good results at amateur sides and then moving to professional sides starting of well but after his first match he was then playing poorly and his cricket career ended before it had even started.
