Now the 84-cap France international has named his best team-mate XI…
In goal he has plumped for his former Chelsea team-mate Petr Cech – now plying his trade for Arsenal.
The Czech stopper played for 11 seasons in west London - with Gallas there for just two of them.
In defence, he's opted for a back-three combination of French international team-mates Lilian Thuram and Marcel Desailly - withe the latter also a colleague at Stamford Bridge - as well as John Terry.
