William Gallas

William Gallas; born 17 August 1977 is a retired French footballer who played as a defender. He played most of his footballing career in France and England before finishing his career in Australia with A-League club Perth Glory. Gallas began his career in France, before being signed by English club Chelsea in 2001. He transferred to rivals Arsenal as part of an exchange deal in 2006.

In 2007, he was named Arsenal’s captain, but was removed from the role during the 2008–09 season after criticising teammates in a media interview. He left Arsenal at the end of the 2009–10 season, when his contract expired, later signing for rivals Tottenham.

Happy birthday to the last leader on the pitch since the departure of Patrick Vieira.
