Most tension racked final day for Arsenal I can remember was 1995/96. (I include 1998/99 in that estimation because for me, the league was done)
Four teams were vying for that final UEFA Cup spot on the final day. Each of them had that spot at different points during the 90 mins due to results going their way. The Bergkamp strike v Bolton made that place our own, though 
Happy birthday, you legend.
PL Hall of Fame is so American. It also works on the assumption football was created in 1992
I have a very big dislike for the concept too, the PL having been trying desperately to Americanise the league for more appeal in overseas markets.
It doesnāt feel appropriate English football plus it will disproportionately reflect players of top clubs. Whereās the appreciation for cult heros of the league who may not have had sustained impact?
Iām remember as a kid watching premier league years on sky sports, looking back itās the best way to consume nostalgia
Perhaps my memory has been clouded by the mists of my youth, but I never remember Bergkamp kicking up a fuss or entertaining rumours about leaving Arsenal. On the other hand, I remember guys like Vieira and Overmars who tainted their legacies a little by being non-committal about their futures.
I doubt Arsenal will ever again have a player of Bergkampās calibre who will stay with us for over 10 years. The last great testimonial.
The thing that makes me so proud is that we werenāt just lucky to have him, he was also lucky to have us. 3 league titles in an era of United dominance is quite special. Could have been more, too.
Bergkamp defines the Wenger era more than any other player for me, as he was there at the beginning of that great Wenger cycle, and also there at itās end when we left Highbury. The word ālegendā was made for men like him.
To be fair to the Iceman he already tried the big move and big club with Inter and it didnāt seem to be a great time for him (He wrote about his time at Inter I think?). He found a club (and manager in Wenger eventually) that appreciated his talents.
What a fabulous player . Loved Dennis .
Possibly one of , if not the greatest players ever to play for The Arsenal.
A common misconception. A great first 2 and a half seasons with Arsene then he fell out of favour.
Indeed, by the time of the 2001 FA Cup Final there was a considerable thought that it would be Bergkamp and Fowlerās last game for their respective clubs.
The rest, in Bergkampās case, is history.

Was the fee Ā£7.5m or Ā£11.5, I always remember it as being the former
I think it was just over 7m, which was a record transfer fee for us.
We also bought Platt for 4m as well.
Yea I was just saying this in some other thread a couple weeks back that I only ever remember seeing 7.5 reported but thereās two articles with the higher number. I see one of them says āpackageā though so guessing they are including wages too which they report at 25k a week.
Seems only like yesterday we signed him up !? Good days !!
Ā£18 per matchā¦take me back 
Watching this, and thinking to that Pires? Goal against Juventus where Bergkamp lobs the ball over the defenders with the outside, I think heās possibly the best outside of the foot passer ever. A niche as hell thing to be good at, but he absolutely excels at it like no other I can think of.
Probably, it does work out to be Ā£12.7m if you calculate 25k a week over 4 years plus the Ā£7.5m fee
