At number 4 is the “Non-flying Dutchman” who captured the imagination of premier league faithful worldwide with his elegant displays during the 11 seasons he spent in England.

Described as a dream for any striker by the prolific Thierry Henry, Bergkamp initially began his career as a wide midfielder at Ajax. However, it was not long before his coaches realised that he would be devastatingly effective if he plied his trade in the spine of the unit and soon he was promoted to the coveted number 10 role.

Not short on creativity, the former Arsenal player caused mayhem amongst the opposition defenders with his performances and remains one of the best players to have featured in England.

With 94 assists in 315 appearances, Bergkamp possesses an impressive game per assist record of 3.35 games per assist. Despite having played in a side which featured the likes of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vierra, the Dutchman was a fan favourite and was the key to Arsenal’s success during his decade-long tenure in England.

His ability to turn up game after game and season after season with quality performances have definitely etched his name in the footballing folklore of England.
