I went on to play 581 league games, scoring 387 goals for seven clubs in England and Scotland, earning 33 caps for the English national team.
    I am now fortunate enough to have a football broadcast career working for the BBC & ITV.

      CD DB I‘m not a troll or fanboy or whatever and I give credit where it’s due, I rate many United players very highly but you really think it’s impossible for a neutral to rate Bergkamp as a better player than Cantona? Did you know that Bergkamp finished runner up for the FIFA world player of the year once? Cantona was not even close to being nominated which shows how brilliant Dennis was. I watched them both and Cantona was amazing but Dennis had a touch, control, skill and elegance that is unmatched, an absolute magician

      @ismail adam I can tell you're probably mid to late 20's, only know Wenger's Arsenal, and know f**k all about anything before that. First off, heard of Marc Overmars and Robin van Persie? That Invincible team was very good, but I'd still take the 98' team over them. And even ex Man Utd players have said, that Arsenal team was the best they'd come up against (And unlike the invincible team, they actually beat Man Utd, not once, but twice). Bergkamp was the start of the revival at Arsenal, believe me, he was a mega signing at the time, Arsenal fans could not believe their luck, especially because the season before his arrival we finished 12th in the league and looked like we were going backwards. Arsenal had the basis of a good team before Wenger took over, he just added the right pieces to the puzzle.

Ruud van Nistelrooy said in an interview that when he started playing football he was told by his manager at the time to watch Dennis Bergkamp videos.

    I love Dennis, I remember when we signed him driving around Highbury with my dad and his mate honking the horn on his old escort as if we'd just won the league. Great times and ushered in a fantastic period for Arsenal, maybe the best for a long time to come. Respect.

    Still my favourite player to watch in the Premier League with the ball at his feet. Even as a Liverpool fan, I used to get hyped watching him play. Not a great goalscorer, but a scorer of great goals. His link up play with both Wright and Henry allowed them to be top boys in front of goal. Capable of absolute magic and had one of the best touches I've ever seen. I miss seeing dedicated #10-type players like him, Baggio, Laudrup, Del Piero, Kaka, Zola, Prosinecki, Rui Costa, Rivaldo, etc. It's a shame Ozil lost all motivation since being forced out of Real Madrid, a shame that Utd ruined Mata by putting him out on the wing, a shame that Coutinho pushed for a move away from Liverpool just as he was approaching the peak of his powers...

      There is only one Bergkamp, but people always say vdBeek is the new Bergkamp, player from Ajax, hè also show it in the Champions League, Arsenal should sign him.
      Always great players from the Ajax youth, Unuvar now in our youth shows every game things that we only saw from Bergkamp. PremierL only can buy buy but Ajax is special they make champions in the youth, almost got in the Final CL last year with alot of own youth players you dont see that anymore now a days..

      When it comes to beautiful one touch football Arsenal is still the best. Barcelona's latest one-touch was great as well but Arsenal's pace was insane. I'm from Germany and I was a little jealous. England may have lacked penalty shoot-out skills but the Premiere League was the greatest show on Earth in that time⚽️👌🏿
