Dennis Bergkamp - Legends of the Barclays Premier League

Two words to describe Dennis Bergkamp, Dutch Master. He made his final bow as an Arsenal player at the end of 2006 season at Highbury before they moved to the newly built Emirates Stadium. He's known as the non-flying Dutchman due to Aerophobia (fear of flying). But above all that, he's a legend in the Premier League and for Arsenal. When you think of him, you'll think of his great vision of passing abilities and also, his wonder goals. Originally as a midfielder, was moved into a striking role and then as a second striker. Described by another BPL legend Thierry Henry, as a dream for a striker. Not forgetting, he was a part of the strike force that led Arsenal to an unbeaten run in the league, dubbed The Invincibles back in the 2003/2004. I still remember THAT goal against Newcastle at St James' Park (I refuse to call it Sports Direct Arena) where he made a fool out of Dabizas. If you need to refresh your minds with THAT goal, have a look at the video lads!!!
