Dennis Bergkamp,A True Arsenal Legend

I still remember the year Arsenal bought Dennis Bergkamp.12 years old but already a fanatic Arsenal fan,i was truly excited with the signing.Same like most Arsenal fans that time,we couldnt believe that a truly top class international player would come and play for the Gunners.Mediocre was the right word for the team that time.Not to say we didn't have class in the team that time.Adams,Dixon,Platt,Wright,Merson are all top class players.But they were lacking in the 'magic' department.Bergy had definitely shown throughout the years that he has plenty of that.

Bergkamp and Wenger propelled Arsenal to it's current position and it is only proper that Bergy finishes off his career at the new Emirates Stadium,a symbol of what Arsenal had achieved for the magnificent11 years Bergy plays for Arsenal.Bergkamp will always be remembered,for his wonder goals,his equally astonishing assists,his touch and vision,and he is no doubt one of the greatest player ever who has graced the game.Just like Franz Beckenbauer with his libero role,he practically created the Bergkamp position,the linkman between striker and midfield, and there isn't a doubt that he is the best ever in the position.



Dennis "iceman" Bergkamp is the one player that has truly influenced me about football.About how football is all about,the beauty of the game that not many people actually appreciates.Thank you for all the great years.You are truly,an Arsenal legend.
