When he spoke about scoring that first goal against Southampton and the Arsenal fans exploded and were happy not only for Arsenal but for him to have got his goal I realised the grin on my face was huge!
Dennis Bergkamp is one of the most under-rated player of all time. His vision and style was unique. Exceptional player. He has not received enough recognition in his career.
@@scorpiusnine8317 No to me, I wanted to watch Dennis Bergkamp! and that's why I started watching Arsenal, then arrived Wenger, Henry and I was in love in a heartbeat.... but Bergkamp was the reason!
For me, it was Marc Overmars because he was my idol when he went from Ajax to Arsenal and I was just too young to see Bergkamp on Dutch TV each week. Apart from seeing him in the Dutch squad
I feel so blessed that I was a teenager in their era. I'm 40 now and feel so emotional watching this. Dennis was and will always be my favourite ever footballer. And my love for wrighty goes back further. Tears of happiness watching this
32. Started watching football around 98 and this man was a magician. He had a technique and dribbling skills compared to Zidane. But I believe he was even better.
Real talk. What Denis said about intensity on the training pitch (28min) Is something lacking today not just in Arsenal but many teams. These two are legends for life.
Same here, I'm 31 so i was only 7 or 8 when he joined us, this is the only time ever i wish i was a tiny bit older to see more of this unbelievable player, I started training with Luton Town youth and one of the coaches used to call me Bergkamp, I thought it was cause i played like him but found out a couple years later it was because i looked like him :/ lol
@@netweed09 the 1st touch against Argentina was athletic genius to coral a slightly over hit pass. The 1st touch against Newcastle was a bit sloppy (As was the pass). Everything after the 1st touch was Denis's genius like football brain reacting to the situation. At that time no one else on the planet scores either goal.
Can’t believe that whenever pundits talk about the best foreign PL eleven or something that they often ignore this man, he is by far the most skillful and elegant player the PL has ever seen, Cantona was not even half as skillful and majestic, Cantona‘s impact in the historical narrative of English football is huge no doubt about that but as a pure footballer, he was nowhere near as good as Dennis and I say this as a Man City Fan
@Man from the Orient Don't you mean you CAN'T say this as a ManCity fan? Lol...who do you prefer, ManUtd or Arsenal. If it's the latter there's no surprises why you'd say that.
CD DB I‘m not a troll or fanboy or whatever and I give credit where it’s due, I rate many United players very highly but you really think it’s impossible for a neutral to rate Bergkamp as a better player than Cantona? Did you know that Bergkamp finished runner up for the FIFA world player of the year once? Cantona was not even close to being nominated which shows how brilliant Dennis was. I watched them both and Cantona was amazing but Dennis had a touch, control, skill and elegance that is unmatched, an absolute magician
FEINSTEIN KUSHNER Typical United fans, super biased and always crying when someone doesn’t rate a united player as the best ever LOL I’m French and i support Chelsea btw so does that make me a noisy neighbor of United as well?? 🤦🏻♂️ You don’t have to be a City, Liverpool or Arsenal fan to see the obvious fact that Dennis was a far better player than Eric
d obianuli Hahahaha, United fans crying so much 😂😂😂😂 You know what? I support my local team of Malmö in Sweden but I wouldn’t hesitate to pick Bergkamp if I had to pick between Bergkamp and Eric Cantona simply because Dennis Bergkamp was absolutely world class in every aspect of the game
We would’ve won multiple UCL’s if only he could travel to away games. I never saw him play coz I only started watching football in 2008 but my dad tells me he is the best player ever to play for arsenal. Not Henry, but Bergkamp simply because nobody could do the things he could do not then not now not ever.
M R db10??? Who’s that. Anyways nah Bergkamp has the best touch, what he lacked in pace he made up for with his touch, technique and vision. Of course it’s debatable between him and zidane for who had the best touch. Ronaldinho obviously was amazing but wasn’t known for his touch per say he was more of a dribbler.
@@riyadinho6795 Your dad is right. Watch his 'Goals Highlight reel'. Then, when you have finally finished (Cos he only scored great ones)...........Then watch his 'Assists highlights'. Equally as lengthy and perhaps more breathtaking. only Messi can come close
Same bro. I was 10 and a Chelsea fan but I remember having Bergkamp and Wright big head figures plus their stickers, to collect in the premier league book. Still remember the smell of my new Chelsea top!
So underrated. Pure magic on the pitch. He was soooooo good, and never got the credit. Defo top 5 of all players I've seen in my lifetime, without doubt.
He would have been wasted with us in the 90s. His level of professionalism was a level above anyone at Liverpool at the time. He'd have been great under Houllier though
I remember when Steven Gerrard said the exacted same thing about not leaving footprints in the snow loooòoool only if u said that 1st hey lol quality quote thou
Brilliant idea, it would be fantastic they were a superb team great to watch, and tough, not just the team, the whole squad were top notch, Denis was world class
United fan here, loved watching this man on the pitch. Class, Skill, Vision. If you love football you recognise the talent and danger this man was in his prime. Unique.
I love watching him when he's not playing against United, but when he's playing against us, boy I hate him and also terrified because he seems to always been able to create chance out of nothing
Yeah, I'm a gooner, but we have all seen other fans respect for Ian Wright, and I think it's because we as fans can all see that he loves the game, just like us.
Nick Duxon same here and I’m s Liverpool fan! Who didn’t enjoy these two legends and what they achieved. Always loved watching Dennis play, such s sexy play 👌🏾
Yeah, he was so talented. His first touch was probably the best I've ever seen. The goal vs Argentina in 98 and the third goal of his hattrick vs Leicester are a masterclass in this art. Absolute QUALITY player.
As a villa fan, Bergkamp will forever be my favourite player. He was such an amazing player, the way his mind worked 10 steps ahead of everyone else and his skill and ability, he didn't need speed He was that many steps ahead. And that goal against newcaslte... wow
The respect for David Dein is clear to see. Wrighty called him Mr Dein straight away. When Dein left our club started to lose its identity. For me Dennis Bergkamp is the closest thing I've seen to perfection.
Good point. A lot of people don't realise the impact that Dien had on the club and what a big loss it was when he left. I think it affected Wengers career big time.
The chemistry between them is hilarious, Wrighty is like that small kid in school that breaks things in the science lab, Dennis is like the nerd with the key that let him in
Exactly. It is no coincidence that Arsenal's two greatest goalscorers both played with him, obviously both exceptional strikers but he provided them with so much freedom.
Even as a United fan, these two remind me of such a beautiful era in football. That intense united arsenal, Fergie/Wenger, Keano/Vieira rivalry, the best ever in premier league history. Period. Absolute Legends.
Dennis Bergkamp is the greatest Arsenal player of all time. One quote from Ian Wright that I’ve always loved: “Dennis Bergkamp is the greatest signing Arsenal have ever made and will ever make.” ❤️❤️
ismail adam nah Bergkamp changed the whole philosophy at the club. Well him and wenger but him first. He added flair to our team that we never had. We was like an advanced level Burnley style team before he came. Without his transfer the other amazing players would never have followed simply because Bergkamp was a player everyone wanted to play with. He is legendary and could do things with the ball that most couldn’t even imagine of doing
@ismail adam I can tell you're probably mid to late 20's, only know Wenger's Arsenal, and know f**k all about anything before that. First off, heard of Marc Overmars and Robin van Persie? That Invincible team was very good, but I'd still take the 98' team over them. And even ex Man Utd players have said, that Arsenal team was the best they'd come up against (And unlike the invincible team, they actually beat Man Utd, not once, but twice). Bergkamp was the start of the revival at Arsenal, believe me, he was a mega signing at the time, Arsenal fans could not believe their luck, especially because the season before his arrival we finished 12th in the league and looked like we were going backwards. Arsenal had the basis of a good team before Wenger took over, he just added the right pieces to the puzzle.
Propably the only time anyone has made Dennis Bergkamp talk for so long and actually expressing himself publicly and we got you to thank for that. Ian man you're the only who could that, thanks.
‘Normally it takes 5-6 months for a foreign player to adapt’ and we have players jumping on Pepe already, we know he has the potential to be world class for us, let’s give him time, trust the process and then we will watch him thrive.
People are jumping on Pepe because of Arsenal fans who get gassed too quickly and who love to banter other rival fans about their players new signings who flop in the 1st few weeks they have just joined the club
There is only one Bergkamp, but people always say vdBeek is the new Bergkamp, player from Ajax, hè also show it in the Champions League, Arsenal should sign him. Always great players from the Ajax youth, Unuvar now in our youth shows every game things that we only saw from Bergkamp. PremierL only can buy buy but Ajax is special they make champions in the youth, almost got in the Final CL last year with alot of own youth players you dont see that anymore now a days..
Totally,spot on,he was and always will be a legend,a TRUE Arsenal great,I know he scored loads of goals from early 90's onwards,but we should never forget Wrighty,a statue would be fantastic way to honour him.
I'm Liverpool through and through, we had/have some of the best foreign players in my 50 years, but Dennis is by far and away the finest foreign player to grace these shores. So calm, so talented, so understated, yet he has one of the top three goals in the Premiership and the best goal ever in the World Cup.
Ian Wright you are a shining example for a young man like myself. A lesson in self swareness, humility, learning from your mistakes and growing as a person... thank you sir. Much love from NYC
@Bobby Banana are you for real mate? I'm a Liverpool fan and Bergkamp was definitely the most mesmerising player I have ever seen in Premier league! Similar style of play to Zizou
iGF99for us Italians late 80’s and early 90’s were the best era as we dominated world football with only 3 foreigners aloud in the team trashing Madrid Barcellona Bayern
As a Brazilian, I always loved his football. Netherlands v Brazil was always a great game to watch, and he was one of the (few) players we wanted playing for our side, lol.
@Richard Starkey Funny joke. How many premier league titles did gazza win? Oh yeah zero. Gazza doesn't even come close to bergkamp not in the same league
@Richard Starkey u must be the daft one son. Get yourself checked into a psyciatric ward coz that was the dumbest comment ever. You were probably drunk as gazza when u wrote that comment
I’m 55 years old, been lucky enough to have been a season ticket holder at the Arsenal with my poor old dad since 1970 (49 years ago), How brilliant was that chat between you two, you are: TWO LEGENDS - I love you both 👍
Phill Sharpe literately did the same thing. Now on my phone while it’s on the telly just to check the comments! What a pair of legends. Genuinely love them both
I’m a Crystal Palace fan and you could not help but be in total awe of Dennis Bergkamp... He was mentally miles ahead of everyone else with his football brain... an unbelievable player and without doubt one of the best players to grace The Premiership.
O m morrocan.. I love this payer. Vers great and technic and very intelligent.... I wached Holland in europeen Cup in 1988..i was very happy when they win... I m sorry for m'y bsd english
Dennis might hold the Premiership record for the amount of times home fans would applaud a goal he scored against their team as normally it was a sublime piece of skill that you simply HAD to respect. A true entertainer
This is one of my favourite interviews EVER! Wrighty looks all the way through this like I felt watching Dennis play every time. Wrighty looks like a kid in a sweet shop, like someone who is meeting their hero and enjoying every single second of every single minute. These 2 gave me so much pleasure watching football. They gave me memories I shall never ever forget. Dennis, for me, was THE greatest player Arsenal ever had. Wrighty, for me, is the greatest inspiration, man and sportsman, I've ever seen. Both of these men have shown me, and I've shown and taught my children, what you can achieve with hard work, dedication and application. Both are what the word 'Legend' was written for. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart.
This man, Dennis Bergkamp is the string and glue that brought me to this great club Arsenalfc. Followed him from Ajax fc. Such a talent he is. A Living Legend!
I used to serve Ian and Dennis food and drinks on the team bus after away games. I liked the pair of them, they were always polite. (Oh, and I beat Bergkamp at an arm wrestle once. Easily )! 😂
The only reason why I watch Arsenal games is because of this man. His style, vision and focus on the game was just outstanding. These were the days of when you get very nervous looking at Arsenal having such players in the team.
These two legends sitting down and having a chat makes it worth the wait since the last video upload. Arsenal, it's way overdue for Wrighty to have a statue outside the Emirates Stadium. Make it happen
Completely agree. He is perhaps the biggest legend of all because of his struggle and journey and the fact that he is still a fan and speaks to the fans. Kind of angry he doesn't have one already. Dennis was probably the greatest all round player ever though, along with Henry.
Around the 9:12 mark when Ian Wright asked him “which one is your favourite” you could see how emotional Bergkamp got. Football wasn’t just his “job” - It was his LIFE! 💯❤️ Very passionate about the sport
I love how Wrighty had to control himself when he saw Dennis. You can tell they have a really close relationship. He seemed out of character and wanting to say more than he did, but the cameras made his reaction odd. Absolutely great, love seeing two great friends just have a friendly chat and reconnect. I love this Ian, thanks a million! You've made my day!
Am with you on dat point....dat Newcastle goal he scored in dat game is something to admire to the least of my life..as a gooner..what a player...his skills and vision
@@minimead368 as much as I enjoy anal, TH-cam comments with men named Abdale isn't my ideal scenario. But if we could speak without butchering the English language that would be great
Same bro. Chelsea fan here but these guys seemed like the first generation of players that where making “big” money but still had old school grit and dedication to training. Plus there was no social media so we didn’t really get an insight to their personal life. Just on pitch glory & heartache 🌅
My all time favourite player, so graceful. He even scored the greatest goal ever against my beloved Newcastle. I'd pay to watch Bergkamp play, that's the biggest compliment I could pay the guy, a joy to watch.
Perhaps its old glamour could be partially recaptured by granting the winner a Champions League spot, instead of a Europa League place. This would give the smaller clubs way more incentive to perform in the FA Cup, but it would also be very interesting to teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Man United or even Leicester, who often don't manage to secure a top 4 finish.
I was gonna write this too but will rather correct your comment. Berkamp was the most gifted and technical player to EVER graze the EPL. The kind of players who relied more on thier brain/mind to conjure a move rather than thier physical body.
Henry and Bergkamp are like Shaq and Kobe! Bergkamp the most gifted and technical player in the league and Henry the greatest premier league striker in history really miss those days man..

Dennis Bergkamp is one of the most under-rated player of all time. His vision and style was unique. Exceptional player. He has not received enough recognition in his career.
Ehsan Sabaghian he’s the original Ozil
He wasn’t underrated by Arsenal fans, when he was playing he always made our worlds top ten best players ever
I think most arsenal fans calling him god is enough recognition....we have the memories
Ehsan Sabaghian he was fantastic, i hate Arsenal, but i always appreciated and respected Bergkamp
I don’t think he was underrated at all, I’m dont understand why you would say that.
When an introvert and extravert become friends. Love the video
Spot on! Couldnt have described them any better. Perhaps that why they get on so well, cos tbier energy/xter balance out.
I wonder if Dennis is still scared to fly on an airplane I'm at the start of the interview so doubt I will find out
I was thinking that!
Spot on! Like a penis & vagina.

He named his grass “Highbury” what a legend.

Mo Talks they could make a film together and i would watch it, brilliant balance between the duo.
Dennis was the hero of my childhood. Still remember his goal against Argentina in 1998…Missed that time when players like this guy played.
The goal against newcastle was for me
The gole that safe my life from getting kill Dennis is my hero
I dont think I have heard my father scream in delight so much for a goal like Bergkamps against Argentina. He was so happy.
Thierry Henry picked Bergkamp as the best player he played with, and he also played with Messi, of course.
Dennis enabled Ian and then Thierry to be Arsenal's top goalscorer
Agreed, he was the perfect foil for your main finisher. Teddy Sheringham used to fill the same roll at Spurs. He is every striker's dream partner.
Exactly. It is no coincidence that Arsenal's two greatest goalscorers both played with him, obviously both exceptional strikers but he provided them with so much freedom.
Thats very true
Towards the end of his career, he even fed the other strikers... like reyes as well
Even as a United fan, these two remind me of such a beautiful era in football. That intense united arsenal, Fergie/Wenger, Keano/Vieira rivalry, the best ever in premier league history. Period. Absolute Legends.

@ismail adam I can tell you're probably mid to late 20's, only know Wenger's Arsenal, and know f**k all about anything before that. First off, heard of Marc Overmars and Robin van Persie? That Invincible team was very good, but I'd still take the 98' team over them. And even ex Man Utd players have said, that Arsenal team was the best they'd come up against (And unlike the invincible team, they actually beat Man Utd, not once, but twice). Bergkamp was the start of the revival at Arsenal, believe me, he was a mega signing at the time, Arsenal fans could not believe their luck, especially because the season before his arrival we finished 12th in the league and looked like we were going backwards. Arsenal had the basis of a good team before Wenger took over, he just added the right pieces to the puzzle.
Propably the only time anyone has made Dennis Bergkamp talk for so long and actually expressing himself publicly and we got you to thank for that. Ian man you're the only who could that, thanks.
‘Normally it takes 5-6 months for a foreign player to adapt’ and we have players jumping on Pepe already, we know he has the potential to be world class for us, let’s give him time, trust the process and then we will watch him thrive.
Still took Dennis 7 games if your listening properly. If your good your good
People are jumping on Pepe because of Arsenal fans who get gassed too quickly and who love to banter other rival fans about their players new signings who flop in the 1st few weeks they have just joined the club
3 assists and a goal in 7/8 games ain't that bad
Slightly different level of player. Lol pepe no where near the class of Dennis
Makaisonn but look at the quality of player Denis had around him compared to Pepe
I actually shed some tears 😭 , will we ever see players like this again? I don’t think so
There is only one Bergkamp, but people always say vdBeek is the new Bergkamp, player from Ajax, hè also show it in the Champions League, Arsenal should sign him.
Always great players from the Ajax youth, Unuvar now in our youth shows every game things that we only saw from Bergkamp. PremierL only can buy buy but Ajax is special they make champions in the youth, almost got in the Final CL last year with alot of own youth players you dont see that anymore now a days..
I cried with laughter
Me too. :')
I’ll Speak maybe individually but not playing together. The best 10 and striker combo
There is no player replace bergkamp overmars Henry viera pires
Ian Wright should have a statue at the Emirates, absolute legend and scored so many goals in such a defensive team under George Graham
Totally,spot on,he was and always will be a legend,a TRUE Arsenal great,I know he scored loads of goals from early 90's onwards,but we should never forget Wrighty,a statue would be fantastic way to honour him.
do you reckon hed cry?
@@mickduncan3564 Probably,Wrighty gets emotional,esp about Arsenal,because he cares,that's why the fans love him
yeah i kinda knew that i was being sarcastic, course hed fuckin cry!!
Statue for Wrighty....
I'm Liverpool through and through, we had/have some of the best foreign players in my 50 years, but Dennis is by far and away the finest foreign player to grace these shores. So calm, so talented, so understated, yet he has one of the top three goals in the Premiership and the best goal ever in the World Cup.
Ian-"I love you man, do you love me?". I died at the moment
Haha me too ... I was like laughing along with them
I was in stitches :D I love them both
The Newcastle goal is the greatest goal i have ever seen.
I'm a Tottenham fan but how can you not appreciate Dennis Bergkamp, what a player.
Liryc a sensible Spurs fan thank you
Fair play for that comment
Wilshere vs Norwich is better and the best the world has ever seen. Fact.
And I think we can all agree from what he say's here, he meant it 👍
The Greek Dabizas (never forget that defender)
I like how wrighty just makes himself at home
mu5lim shut yer mouth
@mu5lim were u born stupid or did u develop into a stupid person. U talk alot of crap
mu5lim you’re just another sick man😔
@mu5lim they're friends you fkin jackass,you must not have any to understand how it goes in a friendship
@mu5lim change your name you prick
Ian Wright you are a shining example for a young man like myself. A lesson in self swareness, humility, learning from your mistakes and growing as a person... thank you sir. Much love from NYC
Never clicked faster...legends
Find someone who looks at you like Ian looks at Dennis. LEGENDS!!
Imagine if Henry and Vieira rang the door bell to join them for the convo
Then wenger comes in at the end
Loool in Arsene we trust
then Seaman, Kanu and Pires
Would be good but Viera doesn’t love Arsenal the way the other 3 do
Robert Pires comes in...
Dennis was just poetry in motion. I never tire of watching his goals. Inter’s loss was our gain!
Absolutely loved how you put it.
”Poetry In Motion”
Ian, you're not only a great footballer, you're a great man, an inspiration for ones like me to push themselves every day... Thank you so much!
spot on , a brilliant interview
Not only was dennis bergkamp a world class footballer, but he's a real humble and genuine guy, great interview wrighty! 👍
TH-cam needs a love button man!
Nostalgia doesn't get any better than this, love you two guys!
The greatest player I ever saw. The guy was just from another planet.
Dennis Bergkamp an absolute legend from a Liverpool fan .
It's 2019, and Dennis Bergkamp is still the most skilled and creative player to have graced the Premier League.
@Bobby Banana are you for real mate? I'm a Liverpool fan and Bergkamp was definitely the most mesmerising player I have ever seen in Premier league! Similar style of play to Zizou
@Bobby Banana you must be mad if you think silva is anywhere near bergkamp... you most likely haven't even seen him play
Zola is up there to and Suarez
IMO 2nd, after Matt Le Tissier.
@Bobby Banana uneducated statement
Late 90s and 2000s what a time to experience football.
iGF99 Gimby nie znają
I would say all the 90 were a great time for football
iGF99for us Italians late 80’s and early 90’s were the best era as we dominated world football with only 3 foreigners aloud in the team trashing Madrid Barcellona Bayern
Luis Lizard Juve were such a joy to watch, Baggio, Alex, Ravanelli, Vialli, 🇮🇹
It was the best time . Take me back please
As a Brazilian, I always loved his football. Netherlands v Brazil was always a great game to watch, and he was one of the (few) players we wanted playing for our side, lol.
Ja hij valt tenminste niet :-)
Hahah 2010 was helemaal to0
Hopefully this year
Thanks from the Netherlands..
liverpool fan but seeing these brings back good memories
Me too. I feel you bro 👊🏾
Same her I had to watch it
newcastle fan here but hats off to dennis legend player
@Richard Starkey lol thanks for the funniest comment ever.
👍👍👍👍
@Richard Starkey Funny joke. How many premier league titles did gazza win? Oh yeah zero. Gazza doesn't even come close to bergkamp not in the same league
@Richard Starkey u must be the daft one son. Get yourself checked into a psyciatric ward coz that was the dumbest comment ever. You were probably drunk as gazza when u wrote that comment
@@stonecoldstevebustin3758 Gazza best in the world in his day.
His Newcastle, Leicester goals and the 98 Argentina goal are forever etched in fans memory
Yeah I also liked the goal away to Sunderland in 96/97 season. The one where they all celebrate with their hands over their mouths.
A Man United fan. But these two and this Arsenal are legends!! Loveeeed this!! When football was football!!
The pass from Robert wasn't the best.......yet he did the most incredible goal of all time for arsenal...legend!
I’m 55 years old, been lucky enough to have been a season ticket holder at the Arsenal with my poor old dad since 1970 (49 years ago), How brilliant was that chat between you two, you are: TWO LEGENDS - I love you both 👍
I'm getting off my phone sacking my film on the tele and putting this on the tele instead. Get in!
Phill Sharpe literately did the same thing. Now on my phone while it’s on the telly just to check the comments! What a pair of legends. Genuinely love them both
@@BennettIsAmazing just finished watching. Oh man. I'm shook.
Phill Sharpe sent it to all my mates
@@BennettIsAmazing Still remember that goal against newcastle that was top top quality.
Bergkamp is a living legend. This made me smile.
The word legend is used too loosely nowadays. This right here are two proper LEGENDS!
FACTS‼️👑
Seeing Dennis live was such a privilege. Perfect blend of Power and class
I’m a Crystal Palace fan and you could not help but be in total awe of Dennis Bergkamp... He was mentally miles ahead of everyone else with his football brain... an unbelievable player and without doubt one of the best players to grace The Premiership.
O m morrocan.. I love this payer. Vers great and technic and very intelligent.... I wached Holland in europeen Cup in 1988..i was very happy when they win... I m sorry for m'y bsd english
Ziyech betrayed Us 🤔🤔😾😾
I miss *THIS* Arsenal. This is beautiful.
Watching Dennis Bergkamp play was such a joy that I've never found since. He was a true genius and will always be a legend.
Ian I love that you still call Mr Dein
“Mr Dein”
Respect to you
And your elders
Sticky Kitty totally agree I'm nearly 40 but sometimes run into my old headmaster from school and I still call him Mr Stamp and not his first name
Dennis might hold the Premiership record for the amount of times home fans would applaud a goal he scored against their team as normally it was a sublime piece of skill that you simply HAD to respect.
A true entertainer
This is one of my favourite interviews EVER! Wrighty looks all the way through this like I felt watching Dennis play every time. Wrighty looks like a kid in a sweet shop, like someone who is meeting their hero and enjoying every single second of every single minute. These 2 gave me so much pleasure watching football. They gave me memories I shall never ever forget. Dennis, for me, was THE greatest player Arsenal ever had. Wrighty, for me, is the greatest inspiration, man and sportsman, I've ever seen. Both of these men have shown me, and I've shown and taught my children, what you can achieve with hard work, dedication and application. Both are what the word 'Legend' was written for. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart.
Great comment, genuinely inspired by your humility
@ Chandl3r6: Well said, man. Bravo
This man, Dennis Bergkamp is the string and glue that brought me to this great club Arsenalfc. Followed him from Ajax fc. Such a talent he is. A Living Legend!
I used to serve Ian and Dennis food and drinks on the team bus after away games. I liked the pair of them, they were always polite. (Oh, and I beat Bergkamp at an arm wrestle once. Easily )! 😂
He's such a gent, he most likely let you win lol
Did you shout "DER IS BEAR CUM!" afterwards?
Wreck Tard bahahahaaaaa
Reiss Sato haha, maybe. I nearly put his arm through the table
The only reason why I watch Arsenal games is because of this man. His style, vision and focus on the game was just outstanding. These were the days of when you get very nervous looking at Arsenal having such players in the team.
These two legends sitting down and having a chat makes it worth the wait since the last video upload. Arsenal, it's way overdue for Wrighty to have a statue outside the Emirates Stadium. Make it happen
He has a block of flats named after him facing the stadium. Statue has to be the next logical step
Completely agree. He is perhaps the biggest legend of all because of his struggle and journey and the fact that he is still a fan and speaks to the fans. Kind of angry he doesn't have one already. Dennis was probably the greatest all round player ever though, along with Henry.
I’m just a simple gooner, when I see 2 legends together I’ll just “like”.
You're a good man, Charlie.
I am not a gooner but you'd have to be a bit of a knob to have a problem with Wrighty and Bergkamp. Wrighty just seems like a very warm person.
Yeah same m8... Just missed Mr arsenal.. Tony Adams.. A real legend
Around the 9:12 mark when Ian Wright asked him “which one is your favourite” you could see how emotional Bergkamp got.
Football wasn’t just his “job” - It was his LIFE! 💯❤️ Very passionate about the sport
“Martin is crazy though,”. Wright and Bergkamp agreeing. Haha my favorite moment.
I love how Wrighty had to control himself when he saw Dennis. You can tell they have a really close relationship. He seemed out of character and wanting to say more than he did, but the cameras made his reaction odd. Absolutely great, love seeing two great friends just have a friendly chat and reconnect. I love this Ian, thanks a million! You've made my day!
The levels of emotions these two bring back! These guys were and are ARSENAL!
If god asks me ‘who is the most humble sportsman you’ve ever witnessed?’ I won’t even let him finish the question. Love you Dennis!
Am with you on dat point....dat Newcastle goal he scored in dat game is something to admire to the least of my life..as a gooner..what a player...his skills and vision
Ian Wright is one of the most underrated human beings
It's nothing better than watching two legends reunited again and having a casual laugh! (United fan btw)😄🔝🙌
"it's nothing more better"...... Let me stop you there pal.
John Shaw typical united fan
@@shanginadildo You get my point
John Shaw “there’s nothing better...... “ if you want to be anal about it!
@@minimead368 as much as I enjoy anal, TH-cam comments with men named Abdale isn't my ideal scenario. But if we could speak without butchering the English language that would be great
Ian : after saying I love you to Dennis, he's like u don't even say it man.
Dennis : arh...amm..I love you!
❤️ Both legends
“Do you love me man?”
“Of course.”
“Well say so man....I said it first!” 😂
It's the iceman. Probably his wife must do the same :-)
there's a reason hes not seen him for so long lol
"Ok, I love you...."🤣🤣🤣
Dennis Is an absolute legend- technically one of the most gifted players of all time .
Ian Wright is just a legend. Love you Wrighty!
Legends. I miss these old players. I remembered how Arsenal beautiful play. Smooth and quick.
From a Liverpool fan
Same bro. Chelsea fan here but these guys seemed like the first generation of players that where making “big” money but still had old school grit and dedication to training. Plus there was no social media so we didn’t really get an insight to their personal life. Just on pitch glory & heartache 🌅
That had total football with a touch of French flair nailed down
This was when football had a soul as kid's we were spoilt watching these legends ⚽❤️
Dennis looks like a combo of Sting, Ed Harris and Tom Hanks
Laughed hard at this! Spot on.
I see all three of those in his face, it’s so true. 😂
Spot on.
HAHAHA...PERFECT ! BERGKAMP BRILHANT PLAYER..😂😂😂
Also beavis and butthead
My all time favourite player, so graceful. He even scored the greatest goal ever against my beloved Newcastle. I'd pay to watch Bergkamp play, that's the biggest compliment I could pay the guy, a joy to watch.
It’s like Batman interviewing Superman!!!
Classic
You mean Iceman!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bergkamp must be Batman because he can't fly.
@@Kal_B 🤣🤣
Imagine how much he would be worth now a days.... That goal against Newcastle I will remember forever.
Bergkamp should speak to Pepe if he hasn't already. Pepe may be feeling the same way Bergkamp did when he was new to the club.
What an amazing player Dennis Bergkamp was overall. Footballing genius and a true gentleman as well.
Hearing Bergkamp talk about the FA Cup like that shows just how much of its aura has gone now... Sad.
Perhaps its old glamour could be partially recaptured by granting the winner a Champions League spot, instead of a Europa League place. This would give the smaller clubs way more incentive to perform in the FA Cup, but it would also be very interesting to teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Man United or even Leicester, who often don't manage to secure a top 4 finish.
@@DeoVindice999 yh for past 3 seasons.
Real sad the lack of respect players have for it now mate. Bergkamp was pure class. That arsenal side 👌
Dennis Berghamp is the greatest signing Arsenal 've ever made 👌 full respect 🙏🙏
and would never make again!
Henry
If Dennis Bergkamp played in the snow, he wouldn't leave any footprints. Absolute magician 🐐
So true... he is my favourite player of all time an absolute hero and a God of the game
DAMN BERGAMP A PURE LEGEND VERY TALENTED A UNIQUE PLAYER
WE LOVED HIM SO MUCH IN MY COUNTRY SENEGAL
I love Ian Wright!! He keeps touching my heart. What a wonderful interview. Yes Dennis loves you too Ian!!!
Seriously, I had a smile on my face all through this / I don’t even support Arsenal, class
Dennis was the most technically gifted player Arsenal has ever had.
You are not wrong there !
Most technically gifted player the premier league has seen..The man's a genius
I was gonna write this too but will rather correct your comment. Berkamp was the most gifted and technical player to EVER graze the EPL.
The kind of players who relied more on thier brain/mind to conjure a move rather than thier physical body.
Henry and Bergkamp are like Shaq and Kobe! Bergkamp the most gifted and technical player in the league and Henry the greatest premier league striker in history really miss those days man..
TrapLives Matter14 Alan shearer is by far the best striker in premier league history stop talking shite
Its crazy, before Dennis, Ian Wright was such a crucial player for Arsenal. If he didn't score we didn't win. Two legends.
