He's one of those special players and if he hadn't have played for us and played in another league like Italy, Spain or Germany, I think he'd have been talked about now as in the same way people talk about Zidane. The talent was there, but unfortunately, the Dutch never win tournaments and he can't fly for away games in Europe and our team was pretty crap in Europe back then.
I like Henry but I'd say Bergkamp is a genuine World Class player. The magical type that do things you just won't see again. Like Zz, Cryuff, Ronaldinho... he's the one player I've seen play for us that I'd put in the all times elite group. Am I the only one that feels this way? Is it too much to put him in that bracket?
