I loved the style of Wenger, and I admired players like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.

Krzysztof Piatek

Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry had more quality than Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

Robert Pires

Arsenal will always come first. You name them - Henry, Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp. People saw these stars shine, and they thought: 'Is there life after Vieira, Pires or Bergkamp?'. But look at what happens here. At Arsenal, you always see young, fresh talent grow into the same role as those stars who have left. Other players have replaced them.

I remember being a young boy in Poland, watching David Seaman, Thierry Henry, Dennis Berkamp and others play for Arsenal. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get a chance to play for the club I supported as a little kid.

Wojciech Szczesny

When I joined Arsenal in 2000 I learned a lot from Dennis Bergkamp. He was the mind of the team and he made things look easy.

Robert Pires

I really liked watching Thierry Henry and Zidane, especially Henry in his Arsenal days.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Fans should remember Thierry Henry when he joined Arsenal. He didn't score much before becoming an icon of this club.

Robert Pires

Dennis is something special. We are talking a lot about exciting football, and Dennis Bergkamp, I think, started with attractive football a long time ago. He was one of these players. A lot of the things he did as a football player you can compare to art.

Frank Rijkaard

At the academy the coaches would show us Arsenal games on TV and my idol was Thierry Henry. He inspired me. That's why I became an Arsenal fan.

Gervinho

Arsenal showed the door to too many people. Why did they let Thierry Henry go? When I found out about his move I realised the Arsenal I played for were finished.

Freddie Ljungberg

I liked Thierry Henry. I watched Arsenal so much on TV.

Chris Smalling

Growing up, I watched other teams, and I fell in love with Arsenal. I wasn't really interested in posters, but I saw many, many videos. Players like Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira made me love the club, and I dreamt of going there.

Matteo Guendouzi

Arsene helped me off the field too. He was like a second dad to me. He loved a player with very good quality and ability with the ball. That's why he enjoyed Thierry Henry, Nwankwo Kanu and Bergkamp.

Robert Pires

Thierry Henry is Thierry Henry. I still have everything to prove. By continuing to work, I will try to reach his level, but I am still very far off.
