TELL US WHAT YOU THINK To celebrate Saturday's one-sided north London derby - in which the Gunners romped to a 3-0 win over their storied rivals - Sportsmail's team of football experts have compiled the top 50 footballers to have played for Arsenal or Spurs.[LNB]Competitionfor the top slot has been fierce - and controversial - but there's nodoubting the quality of the talent in this list.[LNB]Our rankings aresure to provoke much debate - not only confined to north London - so besure to let us know who you think is missing or where we have gonewrong using the debate forum within this page.[LNB]Read Nos 50-41Read Nos 40-31Read Nos 30-21Nos 20-11 20 Charlie George (Arsenal 1969-1975)It was George's 20-yard drive in the 1971 FA Cup final that won the cup and sealed a famous double for the club - his horizontal celebration is almost as famous. A local boy and a real hero who scored 49 goals in 179 appearances for his beloved Arsenal.[LNB] Top guns: Charlie George was Arsenal's darling in the 1970s while Sol Campbell enraged Tottenham fans after he controversially defected to Highbury in 2001[LNB]19. Sol Campbell (Tottenham 1992-2001, Arsenal 2001-2006)Started life as a forward for Spurs but went on to become their talismanic centre-half who led them to success in 1999's Carling Cup. And then... his success at Arsenal compounded the hurt his move caused as the imposing defender picked up two league titles and three FA Cup winners medals. [LNB]18. Tony Adams (Arsenal 1983-2002) That rarest of species, Adams was a one-man club and Arsenalthrough-and-through who made 669 appearances and won ten trophiesduring 19 years at Highbury. A true leader who crowned a fantasticseason in 1998 by slamming home the fourth goal during the victory overEverton, in front of the North Bank.[LNB] Thumbs up: Iconic Gunners skipper Tony Adams and Spurs' Argentine favourite Ricky Villa helped their clubs to some memorable glory days in their playing days[LNB]17. Ricky Villa (Tottenham 1978-1983)One half of the Argentine revolution that started down the Lane justafter the South American's successful World Cup campaign of 1978. Villabrought real style the Spurs team in the late 70s and early 80s andgave us one of the greatest Wembley memories with his mazy run and goalagainst Manchester City in 1981 FA Cup final. [LNB]16. Robin van Persie (Arsenal 2004 - present)The final chapter of the Dutch striker's time at the Emirates has yetto be written but if Arsene Wenger's analysis that van Persie is Henryand Bergkamp rolled into one, he could become the greatest of them all.His brace against Spurs recently has endeared him further to theArsenal faithful.[LNB] Dutch destroyer: Van Persie scored twice against Spurs in last weekend's win[LNB]15. Pat Jennings (Tottenham 1964-1977, Arsenal 1977-1985)One of the only players to have crossed the divide yet remains welcomeback at both clubs. The big Irish 'keeper enjoyed success with bothclubs but his record of achievements with Spurs outweigh those atArsenal and is a regular down the Lane still, ironically in the Pat Jenningssuite.[LNB] Hands on: Pat Jennings is revered by both sets of supporters in north London[LNB]14. Danny Blanchflower (Tottenham 1954-1963)The inspiration behind Tottenham's double-winning side of 1961,Blanchflower remains one of the most revered names in football. Aformidable midfielder who played 384 matches for the club and, was thefirst captain of an English club to lift a European trophy.[LNB] Man of honour: The legendary Danny Blanchflower played 384 times for Tottenham and was thefirst captain of an English club to lift a European trophy[LNB]13. Jurgen Klinsmann (Tottenham 1994-1995, 1997-1998)Arrived at White Hart Lane as a diver, left the club and the Englishgame a legend. His move to Spurs surprised everyone but made an instantimpact with a fine headed goal on his debut away at Sheffield Wednesdaywhich was followed by that celebration. Klinsmann returned to the cluba couple of years later to save them from relegation.[LNB] Double trouble: German striker Klinsmann earned a heroes reputation during his two stints at White Hart Lane while Dave Mackay was feared across the land[LNB] 12. Dave Mackay (Tottenham 1959-1968)Always considered a tough tackling no-nonsense player - a theoryperpetuated by the picture of him holding Leeds United's Billy Bremnerby the scruff of his shirt. But Mackay was a fine footballer and theheartbeat of the Tottenham double winning side.[LNB] 11. Ian Wright (Arsenal 1991-1998)So good they named him three times, "Ian Wright, Wright, Wright" was an out and out goalscorer that took real pride in putting on a show. A double winner in 1998 and, for a time, Arsenal's leading goalscorer of all time. [LNB] Wright stuff: Ian Wright was Arsenal's all-time leading scorer - before good pal Thierry Henry arrived and eclipsed his fabulous achievements in front of goal[LNB] The best of the rest of The ListSportsmail's top 50 football kits of all time Sportsmail's top 50 sporting feuds of all timeSportsmail's 50 great sports photographsSportsmail's worst 50 strikers in the Premier LeagueSportsmail's top 50 stars who failed to play fairSportsmail's top 50 midfield maestrosSportsmail's top 50 commentators of all timeSportsmail's top 50 sporting venuesSportsmail's top 50 free-kick kingsSportsmail's top 50 England heroesSportsmail's top 50 performers of the season so farSportsmail's top 50 all-time managers in BritainSportsmail's top 50 goal poachersSportsmail's top 50 footballing traitorsSportsmail's top 50 FA Cup heroesSportsmail's top 50 signings of the season Sportsmail's greatest Wembley finals in historySportsmail's top 50 biggest hitters in cricketSportsmail's top 50 British & Irish LionsSportsmail's top 50 Ashes heroesSportsmail's top 50 partnerships ARSENAL FC
