Patrick Vieira (born 23 June 1976 in Dakar) is a Senegalese-born French-Cape Verdean football midfielder who currently plays for Italian Serie A club F.C. Internazionale Milano and the France national team. He came to prominence during his stint at Arsenal from 1996 to 2005, where he won three Premier League titles and four FA Cups, and eventually became club captain. He spent a single season at Juventus before joining Internazionale in 2006, after Juventus were relegated due to their part in a match-fixing scandal. He has 106 caps for France, and was part of their 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000-winning sides. In August of 2008, an Arsenal fan poll, conducted on the club's official website, naming the Gunner's Greatest 50 Players, ranked Vieira as fifth.
