#3 Dennis Bergkamp
The former Arsenal legend symbolizes everything that is beautiful about the game. His tremendous flair, skill, and vision left his audience craving for more. In short, he was a magician.
However, Bergkamp also made the headlines over his phobia for flying. His fear of flying was so acute that he would miss crucial European and World Cup matches for Arsenal and the Netherlands.
"I can't fly. I just freeze. I get panicky. It starts the day before when I can't sleep. I've got this problem and I have to live with it. I can't do anything about it, it is a psychological thing and I can't explain it." he said to an English publication, Independent.
Bergkamp’s phobia started when a Dutch journalist joked about carrying a bomb in his bag. The flight was delayed, the journalist jailed and the Dutch maestro vowed never to fly again.
