Arsenal's non-flying Dutchman whose first touch, vision and technique placed him among football's most gifted ever players.

Dennis Bergkamp's first touch was arguably the finest ever seen in English football. His goal against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup — controlling a long pass with one touch, turning a defender and finishing with his next — was voted the World Cup's greatest ever goal. His partnership with Thierry Henry at Arsenal produced some of the Premier League's most aesthetically pleasing football.
