Lehmann played in every Premier League game, keeping 15 clean sheets as he helped Arsenal go unbeaten to claim the 2003-04 Premier League trophy.
The achievement – the first time for over 100 years in English football – earned the players the nickname of “Invincibles”. Lehmann featured in 47 of Arsenal’s record 49 game unbeaten run.

The biggest moment came in the quarter-final with Argentina, as he saved 2 penalties to help his team through to the semi-final. Lehmann’s performances earned him a second UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year award for 2006.
