The ex-club captain, who got into the Premier League Hall of Fame alongside ex-Manchester United forward Andy Cole, talked up his old team.
I'm going to upset a couple of people here, but I think that season was as good as the Invincibles season for Arsenal. They drew an awful lot of games," he claimed.
We only lost once, away to Man City, Paulo Ferreira gave away a penalty early on in the game and we should have come back and won the game.
When you look at the goals we conceded that year, we conceded against sides you wouldn't expect if I'm honest and that's no disrespect to them. Looking back today. That could have maybe been nine or 10 goals conceded.
I don't think it's a record that's ever going to be beaten if I'm honest. I certainly hope it's not and I'm very proud of what we did defensively. That's what we were paid to do, keep the ball out the net. It obviously helped with players around me like Petr Cech, Ashley Cole and Ricky Carvalho, so I'm very thankful for that."
