Lehmann joined the club at the ripe old age of 33 from Dortmund for just £1.5m as he went on to enjoy immediate success (via The Telegraph).

He managed to help the Gunners achieve footballing immortality in his debut Premier League campaign, keeping 15 clean sheets as the club won the league title unbeaten (via Transfermarkt).

The ‘keeper made 200 appearances for the club and is most infamously remembered for being the first player to ever be sent off in a European Cup final after his red card against Barcelona in 2006 (via Sky Sports).

Fans took to Twitter to show their love for Lehmann as some picked him out as their favourite German player.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:

Lehmann all day. He won many trophies with us & was a fundamental part of the invincibles

The creativity of Ozil & the finishing of Podolski tho are second to none
