As a die-hard United fan growing up in the glorious years of the rivalry with Arsenal, I hated their players. Henry made me angry at how easy he made it look and while I knew the football was brilliant I saw it all through the lens of bitter enmity. But the one player I could not hate was Dennis Bergkamp - this was an artist, mixed with a dark edge and a killer instinct. What he did on the football pitch still baffles me and I've seen the replays several times. The goal against Newcastle still seems supernatural to this day. Any other player I would have said got lucky - with Bergkamp, it was all deliberate. What a joy to behold, the epitome of poise, class, footballing IQ and a first touch that could bring a meteor under his spell. I think it was Jon Hartson who said, "If he played in the snow, he wouldn't leave any footprints." He was just that good, one of the best to play in England and I would say anywhere in fact. What a footballer - the kind to make even opposition supporters ardent admirers.

@Harm van der Wilt Thank you! I think Zidane's accomplishments with club and country put him ahead in terms of influence - also his ability to make something out of nothing is pretty legendary, added to his control, overall vision and other magnificent attributes. I hold both players in very high esteem and while I'd have to say Zidane had the greater impact because of what he won my personal love for Bergkamp, the team he played in and the rivalry he was a big part of with United gives him a very special place in my heart

Growing up and watching football during peak United - Arsenal rivalry, I have to say that the only other English club I respect apart from Arsenal, is United. Henry mentioned in his documentary that there was always respect between the two teams, despite fights on and off the pitch. Would love for both clubs to return to the top and fight for titles again, but sadly the game has changed a lot since then.

Spurs fan but I massively appreciate and respect Dennis. Other-wordly player. I think he's the most elegant player ever, a better player to watch than Berbatov who was probably the closest style of player we ever had to him, Van Basten, Laudrup, Iniesta, even Zidane, all those slow, artistic players that glided around the pitch. Imo he probably has the best first touch of all time.

My favourite player ever and I've always argued one of the best ever. I was lucky to be in my late teens and early 20s when the early Wenger years happened, so I remember those days so fondly. What I always find interesting when discussing Bergkamp though is how his darker side is often ignored, and that is part of what made him the player he was, he didn't need a babysitter like many of a similar style do, the man could take care of himself.

Can you do a video about liquidated clubs and which clubs you predict to dissolve (mainly those currently participating in the EFL) in the next few years. Would make an interesting video. It has always been a topic that I was and still am interested in. Going over clubs like Bury, Macclesfield, Scarborough and Chester to name a few would be an amazing topic and a long documentary featuring how poorly-run teams escalate into administration and eventual liquidation in some cases. Lots of support, Tifo!

It always brings some extra joy seeing my fellow Dutchmen being mentioned in these Tifo videos, let alone seeing a video dedicated entirely to one player. And such a sophisticated one! I think his brilliance is often underestimated here in The Netherlands, mostly because he had his best years in England in the Premier League in a time where these matches weren't widely broadcasted the way they are now. Sometimes it feels that all what's left of Bergkamp's legacy here in The Netherlands are his goal against Newcastle and his goal against Argentine, and the latter mainly because of the reacting of famous Dutch commentator Jack van Gelder. One sidenote though: in Dutch we spell football with one L: voetbal.
