10 best player duos who had a telepathic understanding between them

#4 Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp

Ad

Although Dennis Bergkamp had enjoyed success at Arsenal in the 1998-99 season as he played a pivotal role in the team’s league win, it was the arrival of Thierry Henry in the summer of 1999, which would later prove to be the defining moment for both Bergkamp and Henry.

After initially finding himself behind Henry and Wiltord in the pecking order, Bergkamp soon established himself as the support striker behind Henry.

The duo of Bergkamp and Henry played alongside each other for over six years and scored over 200 goals between them as Arsenal won two Premier League titles, including the unbeaten Invincibles run in 2003-04.

The players complemented each other brilliantly, as Bergkamp used his skills of vision and accuracy to create goal-scoring chances which were expertly converted into goals by Henry.
