Arsenal's Greatest XI of all time

Arsenal v Watford - The Emirates FA Cup Sixth Round
"Immortality is not a gift but an achievement"

Dennis Bergkamp Thierry Henry
Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry - God and King at Arsenal

Do they even need an introduction? Both players revere and respect each other. Both players complemented each other so well on the pitch. Both players were on the same wavelength, much to the opposition's dismay.

And both players have been immortalised outside the Emirates with their own statues. There may never be a strike partnership like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp ever again for the Gunners.

Henry's supreme athletic ability, searing pace and inventiveness redefined the role of a mobile striker in a 4-4-2 formation while Bergkamp's creativity, eye-of-the-needle passes and all-round technical brilliance saw Wenger's vision of beautiful football come alive.

Both players not only scored some of the club's greatest goals in memory but they were also very selfless, resulting in some brilliant assists as well.

Henry finished his Arsenal career with 228 goals (including a record four Premier League Golden Boots) while Bergkamp finished with 120 goals.

You'd be hard-pressed to name two better players who wore the red-and-white shirt.
