Arsenal fans will not like what Tottenham's Micky van de Ven has just said

Arsenal have had many great players represent them in their history.

The Gunners are one of the most successful teams in English football – not just in the Premier League era but long before that as well. That wouldn’t have been possible without elite footballers.

Of course, everyone talks about Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira, but there were many more big names who donned the famous red and white.

You would imagine that everybody knows those players, but Micky van de Ven is completely unaware of one of Arsenal’s biggest icons.

Tony Adams is one of the greatest defenders to play the game.

The Arsenal icon spent his entire career as a Gunner, playing 669 games and winning 12 trophies across nearly two decades. He is a legend in every sense of the word and is regarded highly in the game.

Adams is also the only captain to win league titles across three different decades. He won it in 1988/89, 1990/91, 1997/98 and 2000/01. That is a feat that has never been matched, and it’s hard to imagine it ever will be.

Despite such accolades, Tottenham captain Van de Ven has surprisingly claimed that he doesn’t have a clue who Adams is.

In a video on Mail Sport, the Dutchman was presented with a few names, and he had to place them in different categories – like GOAT, Legend, Great and Good.

Van de Ven called William Saliba a legend before changing his mind, but he looked clueless when Adams’ name was put in front of him.

“Who?” he said. When told he is an Arsenal legend, he replied, “I don’t know him,” before placing him in the ‘great’ category.

Arsenal fans already have no love towards Van de Ven because of his Tottenham allegiance, and we’re sure his latest comments will only make that worse.
