Dennis Bergkamp’s arrival in 1995 introduced the Premier League to a new level of skill that inspired Arsenal to three PL titles and opened the competition’s borders to more international stars.
The Dutchman’s technical ability and eye for a pass gave the competition some of its most entertaining play.
As well as providing gilt-edged chances for team-mates, Bergkamp scored some spectacular goals, including the strike against Newcastle United which was voted by fans as the best goal in the Premier League's first 25 years.
You’re talking about one of the best technical players that’s ever played in the Premier League.
It just looked at times too easy for some of these guys, and Dennis was one of those. The touch and the technique were ridiculous.
He was pushing everyone’s boundaries. He was going to do anything, and everything, to be able to be successful at Arsenal.
