Piers Morgan names two current stars in his greatest Arsenal XI of all time... after legend George Graham revealed his Gunners team to Mail Sport

Piers Morgan has named two current Arsenal players in his greatest Gunners XI of all time, in response to George Graham's team the legend named to Mail Sport.

In an interview published over the weekend, George Graham shared his memories of the late Terry Venables, and how they were served tea by a pre-fame Elton John.

He also told Mail Sport's social team his favourite Arsenal 11 of all time - which has encouraged vocal Gunners fan and media personality Morgan to share his own thoughts on X (formerly Twitter).

Graham, 79, played for the club from 1966 until 1972, and returned as manager from 1986 until 1995.

He is 20 years older than 59-year-old Morgan - and the age gap has led to some very different outcomes for their ideal Arsenal XI's.  

While Graham was torn between Bob Wilson and David Seaman, he opted for the former, whilst Morgan chose the latter.

They agreed on Lee Dixon and Tony Adams in defence, but while Graham selected Nigel Winterburn and Frank McLintock, Morgan's choices were the later Arsenal legends of Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole - despite their allegiances to other London clubs. 

Graham chose a historic quartet in midfield, naming Liam Brady, Patrick Vieira, George Armstrong and Cliff Bastin in the middle of the park.

Vieira is the only name that made it into Morgan's side, alongside Robert Pires and Declan Rice - the first of two current names that feature. 

The other is Bukayo Saka, who is named with Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry to complete Morgan's XI.

Graham also chose Henry in his team, but paired him with Ian Wright, who was only named among Morgan's five substitutes.  

Liam Brady, Martin Keown, Jens Lehmann and Marc Overmars were the other four players named as Morgan's alternates. 

Rice and Saka form part of the current Arsenal line-up chasing the Premier League title, with a point advantage over Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand.

The Gunners face Bournemouth, Manchester United and Everton in their final three games of the campaign to decide their fate for the 2023-24 season.
