A Sweden international who joined Arsenal in 1998 and made the best possible start, notching up a debut goal against Manchester United after just five minutes in a Gunners shirt. (And given that the shirt in question - No.8 - had just been relinquished by the idolised Ian Wright, it was important to get the fans on his side).
Made 139 appearances for Halmstads BK before moving to the Premiership for £3million. Turned down Sheffield Wednesday to join Arsenal.
A fast and tricky wide-man whose industry and goalscoring ability stand out. As committed to the cause as any player wearing the red and white.
Good maker of chances for others with his direct runs from midfield, the player is perhaps best known for his varying hair styles. Few will forget the shocking pink streak which went thought he middle of his hair!
Notable strikes include the FA Cup Final goal at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff which looked like winning the trophy in May 2002 - until Michael Owen's brace won the Cup for Liverpool.
The 2001/02 season saw him finally find consistency and be labelled as one of the best attacking players in the Premiership. Missed part of the season through injury, but came back at the best possible time as Robert Pires was ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Ljungberg would net six goals in the run-in to help Arsenal take the Premiership crown. Also scored in the FA Cup final as Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0.
Struggled with fitness at the World Cup in 2002, featuring in only two of Sweden's four games as they reached the second round.
The hip injury that had plagued Ljungberg in the Far East forced him to miss the start of the 2002/03 season, by which time he had played 151 games for the club, scoring 35 goals.
