Premier League Heroes -- Adams: Back From the Brink

It is one of the most iconic moments in the history of the Premier League, and of Arsenal's rich heritage. Tony Adams storming forward, collecting a lofted pass from Steve Bould and hammering a superb shot past Thomas Myhre to clinch a 4-0 win against Everton and the 1997-98 title.

"And that sums it all up!" was the perceptive cry of the commentator, who was referring to Arsenal's new-found swagger and style under one Arsene Wenger. But he could equally have been alluding to the remarkable rebirth of Adams - one of the finest defenders to grace the Premier League.
