Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one.

There it was a case of two strikers up against four or five hard defenders who would stop at nothing. During his time at Arsenal Bergkamp studied mechanical engineering at The University of Bath graduating with a BSc. His father an electrician and amateur footballer in the lower leagues named him in honour of Scottish striker Denis Law.

Due to his fear of flying Bergkamp has been affectionately nicknamed the "Non-Flying Dutchman" by Arsenal supporters. It was at Arsenal where Bergkamp rejuvenated his career helping the club to win three Premier League titles four FA Cup trophies and reach the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final which marked his last appearance as a player.
