The Story Of The Striker Who Refused To Dribble And Still Outscored Everyone

[@Durbanite2010]

As an Arsenal fan in the 1990s, I idolised Bergkamp. He was so, so good. Also, Henry didn't replace Bergkamp, Henry replaced Anelka, Wright and Suker. Bergkamp was the glue of that Arsenal forward line until he retired.

Bergkamp is my favourite Premier League player of all time and I'm a Man United fan! It was an honour to have this ludicrously talented player in the Premier League, regardless of who he played for. I always remember what Ian Wright said about him... "I never saw him have a bad touch, even in training". Players this good only come around once every 30 years. I read somewhere that while Bergkamp was at Arsenal, he was responsible for assisting or scoring 40% of their goals. You want to talk about a guy born to play football? He was the epitome. The guy was a damn genius. Look up his goal for Netherlands against Argentina in the World Cup 1998.

I grew up with the Ajax teams of the late 80's and later the90's. Such a joy to watch, eventhough i'm a FC Twente fan, those Ajax teams produced some great football and talents. And then there was Bergkamp. Became my idol from the moment I first saw him play. Profilic, pacey goalscorer. I remember my uncle getting a paid Dutch channel to be able to watch Arsenal when he moved there. I've watched almost all of the Arsenal matches whem Bergkamp was there. Out of this world football, with the invincible season as icing on the cake. Too bad he never won a Champions League and f*ck we deserved to win that '98 WC. Scored one of the best goals ever there. The one against Newcastle was just ridiculous. Probably the best and most impossible goal to score. DB10, thank you for the joy you gave us. Undoubtetely the best up there with Cruijff.

[@AVAXII]

I am sorry, but didn't he leave Ajax in the summer of 1992? Or was it 1993 maybe? Because he was at Ajax when they won the UEFA Cup in 1991/92 season. And I am 100% sure he was at Inter Milan during 1993/1994 season, cause I remember Jonk scoring in the UEFA Cup Final against Salzburg, and Jonk came with Bergkamp. Btw, it was nothing like Salzburg today. That was a real Cinderella story that Salzburg run. They beat Antwerpen, Sporting Lisbon, Eintracht (first time in history Austrian club knocked out German club from the competition), Karlsruhe, and lost to Inter in the Final.

[@I_MrBones_I]

​@@AVAXII I'm from 1978. I've seen Bergkamp's debut and watched him play ALOT. Lost sight of him at Inter a little, cos there were no coverages like we have today.

[@mscbijles1256]

Long story short: Forget what was what on paper. On the pitch and in reality, the man occupied similar spaces to Zidane and did similar things. Except he has about double the amount of goals AND more assists. Despite being so highly rated, he is still underrated. If not for his fear of flying and the world not seeing him in Europe as much as they should have, he would have been rated as high as Zidane if not more so. Sublime player. A surgeon on the pitch. Ice cold. Clinical in all things attacking football and insane creativity. Absolute joy to watch.

[@SofaK1ingN1c3]

Bergkamp, my favorite player of all time

[@martijn_yt]

It is so interesting that after his remarkable debut, he was struggling a lot in his first two years at Ajax. The media and public were critical, judging him as a elegant, but also fairly limited player , relying too much on one move (he did cut inside often, probably because he did not like being on the right wing ;)) Then he started scoring very regularly while coming on as a substitute, almost a goal per game. His scoring style then rather efficiënt at that time, relying on his incredible first touch, and precise aim. It was only in his third year at Ajax that it became that he was a truly unique player with magical ball control. And the rest is history as they say ;) But it is also a cautionary tale that it can be difficult to judge the talent of a young player, and that we need to give them time and space to develop.

[@chrisharvey592]

Just one of the magical players of that era, we had so many. He was great at ajax, inter, arsenal, and for the dutch national team. Always a goal threat.

[@beno1129]

Dennis Bergkamp, Nwankwo Kanu, Dimitar Berbatov. These players were so graceful and elegant on the ball. They weren't particularly fast or strong, but they had a way of gliding across the field with the ball glued to their feet. And they didn't like to score straightforward goals, lol

[@滋榎本]

Bergkamp has been described by Jan Mulder as having "the finest technique" of any Dutch international and as a "dream for a striker" by former Arsenal teammate Thierry Henry. He may have been Dutch, but Bergkamp’s biggest impact was arguably made on English football. Arriving to the Premier League as one of its first wave of foreign imports back in the unreconstructed early 1990s, Bergkamp immediately demonstrated a suaveness and detached innovation that was alien to the culture he’d come into. Without a shadow of a doubt the best player Arsenal ever witnessed to play in the famous red and white

[@johnming73]

Jan Mulder also said: with Bergkamp you win matches, with vBasten you win wars. It is sad that vBasten is so forgotten. He was so elegant. He was compared with Nurujev, the top ballet dancer. With vBAsten you had the combination of elegancy and killer mentality.

[@Serenoj69]

@@johnming73 Van Basten was simply better than Bergkamp. Indeed a killer and also a very elegant player. Both were very smart players and are also quite intelligent outside the pitch. You can easily notice that in interviews.

[@bipratipchakraborty1839]

Me in India, late 1990's, when I first started following the premier league. Everyone who followed the premier league back then over here was a man utd fan cause they were winning leagues, champions leagues etc. I still hadn't decided on the team I liked yet. And then I saw Arsenal and Dennis Bergkamp. It's been more then 15 years since and I'm still an Arsenal fan no matter which Sheikh or oligarch throws how much money into whichever team. And it all started with watching this footballer float around and score those types of goals which no matter how much you tried to emulate with your friends at the park, you could not do it. Watching Dennis Bergkamp then is like waiting an entire summer for the first drops of rain and the sweet aroma of the thirsty earth drinking and reveling in the joy of something elusive.

Bergkamp is one of my favourite ever footballers and always has been. His brilliance shone most at France 98 when he destroyed Argentina with his gorgeous assist to Kluivert, and then his incredible 3 touch goal to seal the victory. Bergkamp was world class and even the Brazilian team of those days would have been improved by having him in their squad. He was the only reason Arsenal did so well in those days. There's never been a player like him and although I wouldn't put him up there with the very greatest ever, he's got to be a candidate for top 10 in the world in the last 30 years.

Cuz man’s first touch was insane… I wouldn’t dribble the ball if I had the nose for the ball like that. Everyone references the Pires pass, but it was such a fast sequence, but so much was going on. To flick the fast pass into a spin out to recover, takes a bunch of luck but logic to know where the ball will end up. If the defender had the foresight to just turn, he would’ve made a recovery.
