How good was the Ajax & Arsenal footballer Dennis Bergkamp actually? #DennisBergkamp #GOAT
Bergkamp didn't lack form at Inter. Inter lacked tactical vision. It's basically asking Gandalf to make balloon animals.
Pretty sure Gandalf would rock at that tho
I think you're absolutely right he wasn't going to be effective as a main striker in a 4-3-3 and they never saw that but what was Inter's loss was Arsenal's gain.
this is so important to me as a footballer. sometimes playing in a shit team makes you think you are shit. when in reality, if you play in a smart team you can look 100times better.
mind you, Inter won the UEFA-cup with Bergkamp en Jonk scoring in almost every round including the final. there's a lot of players or clubs that never once won an European Cup. I remember Dennis' striking partner Balboa being very egoistic and negative.
so thats what happen to sanchez at man utd.or basically any other player.they are good in something but the manager just need to sort it out for them.
If dennis play on the snow he won't leave any footprint's. - John hartson -
Best I've seen in an arsenal shirt
if i played on the snow, it'll look like woolly mammoth came back to life.
@Ted Bicard, looks like U were born in 2016...
Great quote
@@davidbailey881 agree with you david my idol since i was old enough to understand football properly yeah everyone loves henry but he said it himself without bergkamp he wouldnt have half the goals he does for arsenal... henry said he was that good he knew what run you were going to make before you made it class act the iceman 1 in a milllion
Henry played with Zidane, Messi etc and said in a interview that Bergkamp is the greatest player he ever played with.
Henry didn’t play with Messi in his prime though, played with Bergkamp in his prime. He would have said Messi had he played with him in his prime.
@@tomasferreira5339 Lol this is such a comment like, what if. You can't change his words for him. He spoke what he thinks. Bergkamp is nr 1 for him. Prime or no prime. And yes Messi is Goat.
@@tomasferreira5339 Off course Messi is the better player. No doubt about it. But as a partner for a striker, maybe Bergkamp was indeed the better partner for Henry. On and off the pitch as well
Henry also says a lot of other nonsensical BS, too.
Who’s Henry?
How am I going to explain to my children that Michael Owen, Pavel Nedved, and Shevchenko won the Ballon D'or but Dennis Bergkamp didn't?
Please dont bring Nedved in the list. He deserved it.
@@Sh1ro_Yaksha Great player. Not as great as Henry or Maldini in 03
Raul deserved the Owen´s one.
Treu
Bergkamp or Henry
As a West Ham fan, I hate Arsenal. But hating Bergkamp? Impossible. He's one of the best I've ever seen.
Spurs fan ... and same , quality and magic on the pitch as much as it makes my typing fingers turn black and drop off to type it .
Im an Arsenal fan and I really like West Ham :(
@ItzYourBoiAry __X lol you obviously do or you wouldnt still respond all aggressively 🤣🤣🤣
Birmingham fan, agree hate arsenal love Bergkamp
If you're a football fan you can't not like Bergkamp. Unbelievable player and he helped elevate the Premier League.
Bergkamp and Zidane have the most elegant ball controls in football
yeaa agreed
don't forget berbatov
True dat, but bervatov lacks the legend status
@@TheJorgeSampaio ZZ is my favourite player, period - and I'm a Liverpool fan. But despite Berbatov not being a "legend of the game" itself, and being more of a mood-player (like Savicevic in AC Milan / Montenegro), he still had ONE thing consistently, and that was the ball control.
i think hes better than henry tho at some point, but henry was quick , sharp n fine finisher
Tottenham fan of over 40 years here .. favorite player WAS Glen Hoddle ... until .... Dennis Bergkamp ... Favorite player of all time ... simply brilliant .. He made football look beautiful every time.
Most loyal spurs fan
Bergkamp achieved a unique feat, he not only won a goal of the month award, he was first second and third. Amazing
Newcastle United fan here, that goal against us was that good i would actually be jealous if he had of done it against anyone else. Such a privilege to have conceded such an amazing goal. 👏
Lol
@Kevin McGee Hahahaha genius makes you think that because one's mind cannot fathom such creativity.
@Kevin McGee you are fucking dumb. He clearly said in many interviews he meant to touch the ball that way so it wasn't lucky at all. Put some respect on his name dumbass.
Pretty sure he meant it. He instantly turned and knew exactly where to expect the ball on the other side. Nothing about it seems unintentional, from the movement, where he's looking the whole time, and if it was anyone else you could have an argument, but this man was doing ridiculous touches and things on the pitch every week.
@Kevin McGee think whatever you want buddy, but you're in the 1% who think so, everyone else believes it was intentional so your opinion is kind of irrelevant.
I am a United fan, I hate Arsenal, but I would say without any hesitation or doubt , that Dennis Bergkamp, was a truly world class player, who elevated and graced the Premier League. I was always scared when he got the ball against us. Bergkamp, routinely scored goals for club and country that were not only out of this world, but defied belief and description. I was glad and sad when he retired, we were rid of a nemesis but Premier League lost his genius.
Yes, Newcastle, a great team!
@@flemingcourt Ha, ha , no, you are not
steve hansen shut up
This is what I always appreciate so much about the English people. To see fans from arch-rivals from Arsenal giving such respectful comments, even when they lost is something we Dutchmen don't so quick. When Bergkamp scored against us I wasn't happy at all to say it in a decent way. When you're looking back after many years I can only say I was so lucky to see such a an amazing legend playing for Ajax, Inter, Arsenal and the Dutch national team. What a time back then!
Football fans saying they “hate” is the worst. You have a rivalry, you dislike another team but also respect a good team regardless. Hate is what racists people resort to.
The greatest-most-underrated player ever. Never has he got the credit he was entitled to.
Hard disagree, he was beloved massively at the time.
I used to shout Bergkamp when i play football when i was a kid. Hello from Turkey.
@@lordgaben4319 he’s only a 93 on fifa and never won the ballon’dor, that’s underrated for Dennis bergkamp
Rivaldo is more underrated but I agree bergkamp is a very underrated legend
@@god8371 fifa merchant
Coming from a Newcastle fan that goal against us was so good I had to watch it over and over again and in slow motion just to work out how he actually did it. To this day it is still the best goal I have ever seen.
you have to ask what Nikos Dabizas thinking when Bergkamp literally run circle around him like that
Shameless 😂😂
Yes agree
LOL. I just watched it in slo mo to check it as well. Greetings
I was always jealous as a Liverpool fan that he was an Arsenal player. Absolutely fabulous footballer and a joy to watch. That goal against Newcastle, to this day, is still my favourite ever goal in PL history. The temerity to even think about doing it. The speed of thought, the touch to take the pace off of a fast ball and to cushion it, set it up with perfect backspin to sit perfectly for him to spin 180 degrees, blind and in the opposite direction, run onto and then open up the body to coolly slot it in is pure magic.
Your description of a legendary goal, just made it even more better
Andrew Morgan The goal was pure poetry 👍🏻👍🏻.
That description, probably the closest I read or heard about that goal... Best part is that is coming from a Pool fan.. BTW, equally feels sorry for u incase they void the season... Klopp and Pool fans deserve that completely. Pool have been 2nd fav team after Arsenal.
Priyesh Gala 👍🏻👍🏻. Hopefully we can finish the season.
dude I was always jealous as a Feyenoord fan that he played for Ajax haha
God imagine if we could sign a 25 year old Bergkamp today. What an absolute genius unique artistic player he was. He would cost £200m today. A Dutch Master on par with Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh.
He was the most expensive player to sign with back then
Cruijf, van Basten...also great Dutch artists.
Now imagine to buy Prime messi, no club could afford it.
@@thehumanraise2715 True, so were Gullit, Rijkaard, Seedorf, Van Nistelrooij, Robben, Van Persie, etc. But there is only ONE Bergkamp :D
@@kendyjapri1559 Messi wouldnt life in EPL.. since in EPL body contact is an must n more physical.
The most intelligent, technical and elegant player of his generation. Big thank you to Arsenal for bringing him to England, giving him a second home and a grand stage for showcasing his talents.
lol
Shame about the underwhelming number of goals and assists....zidane was alot more elegant,technical and intelligent.
The man was a genius! Very rarely do you get a player of such skill and talent. A beautiful footballer which doesn’t exist anymore.
He wasn't good, he was magnificent.
He wasn’t magnificent, he was absolutely spectacular
he wasn't magnificent but was a true genius
he was just lucky! bitter Man Utd fan!
He was magnificent, but Van Basten was even better.
Some say Dabizas is still having nightmares.
No matter how much he is respected, he is still underrated. What a brilliant player and stood up on all levels.
chelsea fans since 1997 here... he is one of the most skillful player in EPL i've ever seen, if not the most skillful... and he is a player people can't hate even for rival team fans...
That goal vs Argentina in the '98 world cup was just insane. To bring down such a long ball so softly then cut it back vs the defender and basically poke it with the outside of his right foot into the far corner... just brilliant! I believe the announcer said "Dennis Bergkamp" 20 times after the ball went in lol
I'll never forget that moment in 98. One of the most emotional moments in football in all my life. I had already given up hope and seeing this evolve in front of my eyes was just out of this world. What made this even better was the announcer sort of announcing this goal during the attack. It was a delight seeing Bergkamp play. To me he's truly one of the greatest of all time.
Even here in England we were going crazy for that goal! Pure class, pure drama! Plus it was against the Argies!😉😁😂 What a player Bergkamp was, a true poet on the pitch!👏👏
kzhead.info/sun/i9eTm6d-pqOJdas/bejne.htmlsi=T9eOZzWlhh7gL4-T Still gives me goosebumps 😅
Quite simply the greatest player to ever play for ARSENAL.
AMEN! I agree!
Me three
Henry ofcourse.
Undoubtedly the best player to wear an Arsenal shirt. And Wrighty and Henry both said that it was a privilege to play with him. Thank you, Dennis, for so many happy memories. It was a privilege to have you at Arsenal.
He was obviously nowhere near as good as henry.
Bergkamp 1998 was art personified. The goal vs Argentina is a thing of beauty
I don’t like Arsenal, I’m not Dutch, but Dennis Bergkamp will always be one of my favourite ever players. A genius, years ahead of his time. One of the best I’ve ever seen in the Premier League
I am Dutch and I never understood why we were only talking van Basten and Gullit. Bergkamp was my favorite player. Such an elgant player.
Not close to being one of the best prem strikers,he was great though
Literally the player that made me as a 7year old fall in love with Arsenal and the beautiful game... the fact that he scored so many as a skillful number 10 should show what an asset he was to the team... COYG!!
I was 10 when Arsenal did the 97/98 campaign. It's my first year of liking football. Since media always talk about MU, at first I also attracted to them. But lo, even as a kid I can't deny the greatness of Bergkamp and Arsenal. Hell with media, Chelsea vs Arsenal (2-3) game made me fall in love with Bergkamp and Wenger's Arsenal till his resignation
Mate. Trust me, I was 17 when he signed it was truly an amazing moment. Far more significant than when Ozil, Aubameyang or anyone else ‘big’ has signed since.
Same here, Winterburn scoring that amazing goal with his wrong foot.
Tbh he never scored or created alot per season,and in all of his time at arsenal he only scored afew great goals,the rest were just decent.
The greatest footballer I’ve ever seen live. He was an absolute genius.
As a kid from Amsterdam he was my hero and inspiration. Unbelievably talented and gifted.
The guy is a genius. His arrival at Arsenal was the beginning of our resurgence
Chelsea fan my whole life and I love to hate the deluded gooners. However, Bergkamp is one of my favourite players of all time. He played the game how it should be played. Reading his autobiography as well was very interesting, you could tell how intelligent he was as a person and footballer. That goal against Newcastle can never be beaten in my eyes, sublime touch and turn
His goal against the Argies in the last minute of a world cup game wasn't far behind it.
Great goal but so overrated lol
The time he played at Arsenal and during the '98 World Cup, he was like an idol for me... and I am german!! :D I'll never forget watching his goal vs. Argentina that World Cup, legendary!!
One of purest technicians in the history of the game. Denis needed the English game, its spirit, just like we needed him. He took our game to another level.
As a Man City Fan myself and someone who has followed football since the late eighties. I must say Dennis.B will go down as one the greatest player i ha e ever seen play the game. Simply sublime to watch and till this i have not seen anyone to compare him to. This guy was in a league of his own.
Almost in tears seeing how greatness visited my beloved Arsenal back then.
We were lucky to get to watch them every week. I'd start watching football again if Pires, Henry + Bergkamp came back
Easily one of the best of all times, and doesn't get as much respect as he should. Truly an unreal player.
He is actually overrated and not close to being one of the very best prem players.
@@ppo9200 you’re clearly slow
The greatest two touches in football history, left foot spin, right foot goal, i was there up the other end with the rest of the Arsenal fans and none of us including me knew how he did what he did. Some so called expert pundits suggested at the time it was luck but now they all agree it was a defining moment of artistry in football. So glad i was there. Thank you Dennis for all the great memories, me and i am sure all Arsenal fans will never ever forget you.
A true magician. Elegance, technique and vision; a truly magnificent player who was beautiful to watch. From a United fan of 39 years.
I remember Dennis in his Ajax times as an unstoppable chipshot machine. Bit as in the likes of Robben with his standard move and goals. This was the Bergkamp goal. Later on in his carreer he became more diverse. Extraordinary player.
I watched a video of the Arsenal team of Bergkamp's era last week - a group of players were celebrating a goal and I was astonished at the names involved in the celebration; I'd forgotten what a brilliant group that was.... Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira, Pires, Campbell, Gilberto, Reyes, Cole, Lauren - that's more than a nucleus for a World Cup winning team! Such a huge amount of talent in that team.
Fantastic player and one of the most technically gifted footballers I've ever seen. Arsenal in the late 90's and early 2000's were a joy to watch, especially when Bergkamp and Henry were on form...
I repeat; no player has ever been more skilled and artistic than Iceman. Overview, timing, originality, physics, speed, passing, dribling, headers, longshots - you name it; he had it.
😂😂😂 average number of goals and assists per season,only scored afew great goals,not even arsenals best player,nowhere near the best prem strikers,very overrated.bargain basement zidane.
what a player. his first touch was the best ive ever seen he could pluck the ball out of mid air and stop it dead still. he was the most comfortable football player on the ball ive ever seen.
Nowhere near as skillful as zidane,ronaldinho etc
Every goal, movement and passing is art. There wasn't a single goal without class.
Such an elegant player, even though I wasn't born in that time, the highlight reels and the amount of great players who praise him shows that he was magnificent
Easily the most enjoyable player to watch. The complete player. He made it look an art. He was just so so good
I'm a United fan but Bergkamp was just pure class back then 👏
He's the reason I fell in love with Arsenal as a young boy
I grew up with Bergkamp, I am an Ajax fan and i am Dutch. He was one of the greatest for us Dutch. The goal against Argentina on tthe WC in the US. That era of the Dutch should have earned a WC title. Bergkamp is also afraid of flying. But he was the best creative player I have ever witnessed, the flegmatic moves, the intelligence, the beauty. And, like Cruyff, he made it look simple.
Was that goal against ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 REALLY IN THE USA 🇺🇸⁉️⁉️⁉️
Just got him in PES yesterday and man is he a legend! So many golden memories from the late 90s and early 2000s. I have never been a big fan of Arsenal but Bergkamp was still something else, a true magician with the ball. And that '98 World Cup, Holland was so fun to watch thanks to him and many many other skilled players.
Hope this means more consistent uploads. This channel needs to blow
Anas Ali Consistency is everything on YT
It will.
Fingers crossed
@@zmzmppi don't seems to be the same voice.
@FreeThinking TruthSeeker ok better that way ;)
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYERS! a lot of love and respect from Brazil
Antony, Neres, Ajax means Ajax go for gold en veel doelpunten!! haha Maaaask
So overrated😂
It was a pleasure to watch him play live in the WC 94 round of 16
The goal he scored against Argentina in the World cup, is still one of the best goals ever. Great great player.
Bergkamp and Henry left Arsenal in close succession , they were never the same afterwards. I miss them both !
I’m a Chelsea fan ...yet I will always defend including this man in my all time premier league XI till I die 🔥🔥
So many better prem strikers than him
I'm a BIG Bergkamp fan, and I got 6 arsenal shirts with Bergkamp's name, what a LEGEND he was he should have been 3 or 4 times ballon d'or, man I miss him and there is only one Bergkamp.
You couldn‘t put it in words, just how good Dennis was. He was a gem.
Against Newcastle when the pass comes in i get chills, when Bergkamp makes the touch i get emotional. Dont exactly know why but this goal just stirs something up in me. Great player
same... i felt myself becoming emotional watching something of that level of greatness. I've seen it many times, but I don't think it'll ever change. If you are ever in a drag and need something inspiring, something to make you feel. And you need it quickly? watch that goal with some good music under the commentary.
That is art for you, sir.
This man was a genius with the ball. The touch of a maestro and so, so intelligent. He scored my favourite goal of all time against Argentina. The control, touch to take it away from the defender and then finally smash it beyond the keeper. Watching that live, he just did it all before your brain could compute what he'd done. And then you were just left flabbergasted. Should also be pointed out, he was terrified of flying and this led to him missing many European nights with Arsenal. A tragedy for any football lover.
as a german guy who likes spurs, i still have to say that he's without a doubt one of the greatest and most graceful players in the history of football. everytime he touched the ball something absolutely beautiful happened
So overrated😂
How good was Dennis Bergkamp? Just constantly repeat that goal against Newcastle. That's how good he was. An absolute privilege to see play - wonderful footballer.
My favorite player of all time. The ice man, the non-flying Dutchman
The floating Dutchman.
He actually hated flying(I.e. in an aeroplane) so he is literally a non flying 😁
Kakivi Yepthomi his fear of flying screwed us several times in Europe...
THAT was the joke from Chris, my friend...
Last time I flew in 2001 I was soooooo traumatized that I got thoroughly searched at Tenerife because I was acting so weird but I was just grateful to be on Terra Firma. Had flown 40 times b4 and hated every minute...
Bergkamp is the definition of class. One of my favourite footballers ever.
His technical ability was way ahead of most in the mid/late 90's. Wonderful player to watch. Right up there with Zola as one of the best overseas players to come to the premier league at the time. I'd have paid to watch both
Way ahead? There were MANY players who were technically gifted in that time frame buddy. If Bergkamp was around today, Id agree. But not back then, too many legends.
Bergkamp and zola are nowhere near the best ever in the prem
I'm a Leeds fan, but by God I loved that man, and can honestly say he was the best player I have ever seen in England, in definitely top 5 ever
There have been lots of prem forwards better than him
@@ppo9200 your clearly in a minority there son. Probably a Man U fan
Short, interesting, entertaining, informative, quality videos. More grease to your elbows.
Thanks 👍
@@goat8078 bergkamp just 91 is embarrassing
While most rave about Bergkamps's goal against Newcastle,his reception,retainment and lobbed delivery against Bayer Leverkusen in Feb 2002 Epitomises Denis's unrivalled mastery more so,his 1999 display at filbert street was sublime,especially the goal from the short corner,his collection in the WC from Frank De Boer's long ball to kill the Argies at 89 mins was pure magic(As an Englishman that one was particularly satisfying,given the opponent😁).,so many moments, so many magic touches. The only player ever that made me shed a tear upon his retirement. We were truly privileged.
There have been so many players that were better than bergkamp,and so many goals that were better than those you mentioned.
Dennis bergkamp is the reason why i like football as a kid and become arsenal fans till today
For me Bergkamp is one of the greatest players to ever play football Bergkamp is the hole reason why we call football the buetifull game.
Bergkamp and Henry, the deadliest partnership the premier league has ever seen.
Eh...ever heard of Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush for Liverpool, ca 1986?
@@robhendrikx2198 he said premier league
*The world has ever seen
Made 'boring' Arsenal into 'swinging' Arsenal, once The Invincibles, looking back it's very sadly too see for such a big club they're way far from that for many years now.
I agree fully. What a duo
Bergkamp quality and Arsenal play stlye back in the day, was something that made u fall in love with football.
Been a Manu fan over 25 years. My God do I miss watching Bergkamp play. Wish he signed for Manu instead of Arsenal. How did we miss him?
Pure genius, you cannot describe how if you love and appreciate football, players like Dennis and Zola were sublime.
The Frankie De Boer pass to Dennis during the World Cup game in 1998 v Argentina was a pass and a goal of wonder
Bergkamp and Zidane are the only players that were so special, they can't be recreated in a video game. You just can't play like them
Not to sure about that one bergkamp is unbelievable on new pes21 his rating is 99 out of 100 and he move exactly like he did in real life

MARADONA...RONALDO9...BERGKAMP...HENRY...MESSI...I would say Diego the greatest...but the others are in no particular order...these 5 players are the only one's i have ever got up to and clapped..just my opinion that's all
Bergkamp was so classy, composed and clever. His first touch was one of the best of all time and he struck the ball with so much technique no matter whether it was a pass or shot. Great Player.
Yet he never scored or created thst much per season,he also didnot score that many great goals.Far more style than substance imo.
@@ppo9200 His stats are actually pretty good. 120 Goals and 102 Assists in 422 Games for Arsenal. You have to also remember that he played in an era with much more dominant Defenders who were allowed to make hard challenges. Even some of R9 stats look weak compared to the top players of today and he was utterly undeniable.
@@-MacCloud- there were players in the prem at the same time that scored/assisted far more per game,including scoring many great goals.I grew up watching that era, great strikers scored better than one every 2 games,bergkamp stats are underwhelming for a great player.He was great but there were multiple better strikers during his years in the prem,nevermind afterwards. In terms of dominant defenders,it is the same now as it was back then,only some top teams had one or two of them,the rest were average or poor. The late 90's and early 00's were nowhere near as physically tough as the 70's and 80's,that is just an excuse.It is usually great dribblers that are most affected by that,bergkamp was not a great dribbler especially compared to giggs,brazilian ronaldo,ronaldino,hazard,neymar,messi,zidane etc. Henry,shearer,fowler,nistelrooy,rooney even an attacking midfielder like lampard ,all easy outdid bergkamp. Ronaldo at madrid, but especially at barca, inter milan and for brazil ,had really amazing stats,usually comparable to the best of the more modern players. Great skill always allows the best players to score/create much more often than bergkamp did,and that is true for all eras.Watch his prem highlights video,its shocking how poor it is for a player so hyped up.
@@ppo9200 You’re missing my point about defenders and I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not. Defending peaked in the late 90’s and 2000’s, before that it was rough and dirty, after that it’s been any touch and the player is fouled. Defending now has changed massively since then and has changed massively before too, but that is utterly beside the point. The defenders today are absolute trash compared to the 2000’s and they aren’t allowed to be defenders anymore. Not just that they aren’t allowed to kick people, the tackle has to be absolutely clean or it’s a foul, back then there was a little bit of give and take, take the ball fuck the player up a little, so long as you aren’t flying in or two footed if you drop the guy it’s fine. These days you can’t touch a player or he dives and gets the whistle. There is a reason why a mediocre striker today can match the goal scoring if the greats of the past and that has been the case for years. Since the 60’s defenders have been getting reeled in decade after decade and we are now at a point of over correcting an issue that did exist at one time. In the 90’s a goal or assist every two games was elite. That’s not to say there weren’t better players because there were, I think Cantona for instance was a player who played that deep-lying forward position better than Bergkamp and the stats follow, but if we have to use Cantona who was a legend to top Bergkamp in that role then Bergkamp was clearly very good. But let’s look at another United player who was elite in his day, Mark Hughes often liked to step off and play around the box instead of in it, his stats are a little worse than Bergkamps stats, he has more highlight reel goals but at the end of the day a Goal is a Goal. You don’t get two points for a rocket. So imo Bergkamp sits somewhere between those two players. Which makes him Elite. Add to that how technical he was and the ease with which he controlled and manipulated the football, he can serve as an example to train towards in that regard. I’m not telling you Bergkamp Is the GOAT, so relax. I’m just telling you that he was an elite player in his prime who played with excellent style and technique. You can’t argue me out of that because I already know I’m right by my standards and by the tests I use to determine the quality of a footballer now and then.
Complete legend, how did he not win Ballon D’or? Thank for choosing and staying loyal to the gunners. Favourite player of all time! 👍
Easily the classiest player to have ever played in the premier league.

@@larry2306 are you kiding boy 😂
His passing was incredible, angle, curl ,weight and vision
What I really like about Bergkamp was that he danced with the ball, a very elegant playing style that made it enjoyable to watch him play. Also his insight and intellect was very good.
My all time favorite... He was so good and made others around him in the field (look) even better!
One of the best players of the Premier League era. The guy was pure class with nerves of ice.
I was on the phone with my father when Bergkamp scored against Argentina, will never forget this moment.
Dennis Bergkamp was one of the most technical and smartest players I have ever seen. Amazing player, for sure. For me, personally, the best Dutch player of all times.
Long story short he was a beast
This channel is gonna grow so much. Content is really well made.
He did things other players couldn't imagine. He was the first of the mega players to come to us and drew others after him.
Watching his goals still gives me goosebumps even after all these years. I wonder if Dutch football will ever again bring such a multi talented player as Dennis Bergkamp. A true icon of the game.
I get shivers down my spine every time I watch that goal against Newcastle. Hands down the best goal I've ever seen.
Newcastle ;p
@@dimrrider9133 haha, thanks, I must have been drunk when I wrote this! Still love the goal though!
He was absolutely brilliant!!
It makes me incredibly proud that we, as such a small country as the Netherlands, have always produced top sportsmen- and women on the highest level. I got interested in football when Bergkamp was already retired, but I always knew who he was for that goal against Argentina. That goal is legendary in my country. You should look up that goal with the Dutch commentator Jack van Gelder. Jack's reaction to that goal says it all, pure insanity, the majesty of Dennis Bergkamp
You should check out your legendary teams of the 1970’s and 80’s! Watching the 74 World Cup made me fall in love with the Dutch team, and Dutch players. I had the pleasure of living in Eindhoven a few years ago and I was a regular at PSV. Fantastic country 😍
@@joejones9838 thank you so much! I will check those teams out. I'm really glad to hear you liked it here! Where are you from?
Mark Leunenberg you’re welcome. I can only speak from experience I found your country to be a very welcoming and tolerant society. I’m Welsh from North Wales and as Wales football teams never qualified for any major tournaments in 1974 from the start I chose Netherlands as my team quite randomly, I think I liked the orange jerseys(I was 7 years old)and it was a great choice, without doubt the best team to not win the World Cup. They played football then how Barcelona play now but on muddy pitches and vicious tackling was expected. The ‘78 World Cup team was also fantastic, minus Cruyff, and also got to the final but unfortunately again beaten by the host nation! You have some fantastic football to treat yourself to.
@@joejones9838 we really do! Even though we complain a lot about our national teams. But that's what we do, complain. Maybe you experienced that as well 😂
I am german, came to football around '95, so '98 was the first World Cup I watched. I am a fan of the dutch team ever since. Yes, when Germany plays vs. the Netherlands, I cheer for the dutch. I hope you continue to "produce" outstanding football players that are just fun to watch.
That goal against newscastle was a delight. Such a great Dutchman. I love you Dennis
The goal against Newcastle was complete genius
This is incisive and thoughtfully constructed, much like a Bergkamp pass. Excellent work.
A footballing genius, my favourite player. Nothing compares to Dennis for sure.
Still my favourite Arsenal player, it was a fantastic time as an Arsenal fan when Dennis was gracing the number 10 shirt. His remarkable goal against Newcastle will always stay with me and many many Arsenal fans.
I loved that man...simply an amazing player. His game was beautiful
One of the greats! Once lauded by Thierry Henry as the best player he’d ever played WITH, even, to that point in time, ahead of Messi.
Dennis Bergkamp was an Artist in the spirit of Johan Cruijff. True football is Art.
What is often overlooked is that he was a master playmaker and passing genius
Nah you make him sound like zidane lol he was very good,but most of his passes were just normal,sometimes he did make a great pass but nothing amazing.As for creativity he did a few flicks that get played in his highlights reel and thats all.He never scored or assisted that many times per season,he also didnot score many great goals.Great but very overrated player,not close to being the best prem striker.
BERGKAMP 10 was the best at Arsenal still my favourite to this day.
