When I came to Arsenal years ago, I saw things from Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry I'd never seen before.

Robin Van Persie

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

Rather than opera, football is more like ballet or a chess game. You can really see it in a team like Arsenal, especially when Dennis Bergkamp was playing. He seemed to be able to read the game like a chessboard and knew where a player would be several seconds later and put the ball there for him.

Marcus du Sautoy

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.

Robin Van Persie

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

Krzysztof Piatek

You can compare Mesut Ozil to Dennis Bergkamp, because they play just behind the striker.

Robert Pires

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

Robert Pires

I played for Arsenal for more than three years, and I had fantastic moments. Maybe they made me one of the best strikers in the world, because under Arsene Wenger, I learned a lot of things - but you have to move on.

Emmanuel Adebayor

When people ask me the best player I played with, I always say Dennis Bergkamp. He just had so much class.

Robert Pires

Arsenal are quick to credit Bergkamp with laying on 75% of their nine goals

I grew up in Orlando, Florida, and I joined the debate team right around the time of the 2000 election.

Arsenal is a club that likes to bring through young players, that's something that always gets the fans excited, to see someone from home come and play for the first-team. I think that's something that every team should do. The fact that Arsenal does it a lot and that I'm one of them, I'm really proud.

Hector Bellerin

Dennis Bergkamp is, in my eyes, still 'The Master'. The fact that he never won the Champions League, the European Championship, or the World Cup does not take anything away from his greatness as a player.

Robin Van Persie

It's easy to fit into a team like Arsenal.

Jack Wilshere

It's not easy to break into an Arsenal team from youth.

Jay-Jay Okocha

A lot of the things that I’ve learned in the past have been from dear friends. Rodriguez’s favorite line is “Fácil!” Easy! He makes things easy. He doesn’t complicate his life. He’s obsessed with perfection, but he makes it easy, and that’s pretty much the way I work as an actor.
