Arsenal's 2003-04 Title Winning XI: Where Are They Now?

#6 Dennis Bergkamp (second Striker)

Dennis Bergkamp

Dennis Nicolaas Maria Bergkamp is also one of the most legendary players to don the Arsenal jersey. After playing at Ajax for 7 years, he made a move to Inter Milan but had two disappointing seasons there. Post this, the Dutchman moved to Arsenal in 1995 where he rejuvenated his career.

The 49-year-old won three Premier League titles with The Gunners, along with four FA Cups and three Community Shields.

If one wants to learn to play with composure, then they should closely watch Bergkamp's videos. He was one of the most complete footballers, with immense ball skills, creative ability, mindfulness, and sense of the game. The technically gifted player would write his name in history books as one of the club's greatest of all time.

Bergkamp has 87 goals for Arsenal in 315 appearances. During the 2003–04, he played in 28 matches (coming on as a substitute in 7) and scored 4 goals. In the league's 26-year history, his goal against Newcastle United is voted as the best of all time in Premier League.

He also featured regularly for the Netherlands national team and scored 37 goals in 79 appearances for the Oranje.

Post-retirement, he served as the assistant coach and striker trainer of Ajax. He worked alongside former Dutch national team-mate Frank De Boer for over 5 years.

After the departure of De Boer, Bergkamp's role became more focused on field training, and youth players hence he was mostly behind the scenes. In December 2017, Bergkamp was sacked after constant poor outings of the team and freed from his duties.
