I really liked Bergkamp.
There I said it.
Bergy :bow:
DB 10 :bow:
Henry - Bergkamp :cloud9:
Whilst I still enjoy watching Henry, and my first ever favorite player was Liam Brady, my all time favorite is Dennis Bergkamp. He was a genius by himself, and yet his partnerships also brought out the best from his teammates.
Dennis > Thierry every day of the week.
Damn his phobia though!!
Decent player that Bergkamp.
Bergkamp... What a Guy, and certainly my #1 Player of all time.
The Guy needs to come back to Arsenal in some capacity!
Probably for the best.
Deleted it but he has to live on :p
Not at football.Quote:

A little snippet on his flying fears from his book:
Quote:
'It made me feel so awful and I began to develop such an aversion to it that it suddenly dawned on me: "I don't want to do this any more", writes the 44-year-old.'It got so bad I would look up at the sky during away games to see what the weather was like. Were there any clouds coming? Sometimes I was preoccupied by the flight home while I was playing football. It was hell.'
He adds: 'I've flown countless times in large planes, small ones, tiny ones. At Ajax, I once flew in a minuscule plane over Mount Etna near Naples when we got into a terrible air pocket – in terms of flying, I've seen and done it all and I'm simply not flying again. Ever.'
The Dutchman - who spent 11 years in north London before retiring in 2006 - also revealed that he would waive extra money when signing new contracts because of his aerophobia.
Bergkamp adds: 'In talks with Arsenal, if I said "a million" they automatically deducted a hundred grand "because you don't fly". And I accepted that.'
Typical of us to deduct the poor bastard a hundred grand - he was sooooooo good, we should have doubled his pay & bought him his own train & shipQuote:

Ultimately I feel we benefited. A non-flying attitude would probably not have been tolerated at Madrid/Barca, and he knew it.
Dennis Bergkamp is the most important signing in the history of Arsenal Football Club.
Finally - something of substance & accuracy from youQuote:

If ever a player was worthy of worship, why fly when you can walk on water?
