Arsenal debut: 1-1 home draw with Middlesbrough, 9th Sept 2006 Gallas was one of Chelsea's best players in the first 2 years of the Mourinho era, earning himself 2 Premiership winners medals and a League Cup one. He fell out with Moaninho allegedly as a result of being used in his less-preferred left-back position too much, and staged a bit of a protest at the start of the 2006-07 season leading to Chelsea wanting shot of him as much as we wanted shot of Ashley.
