DBasia.news – Arsenal in the era of Arsene Wenger was able to create historic moments and produce top players for 22 years in charge of the club.
Arsenal had strengthened talented young men who later became stars or mature players from other clubs. An example of that can be seen in Dennis Bergkamp.
The Dutch football icon played for Ajax Amsterdam (1986-1993) and Inter Milan (1993-1995) before playing for Arsenal for 11 years (1995-2006). Bergkamp is considered one of the greatest players of his generation.
Supporters called him a non-flying Dutchman because of his fear of traveling by plane. Apart from the nickname, Bergkamp has his own way to become the center of attention for football lovers.
Forged with a total upbringing of Dutch football, Bergkamp is not just a sharp striker but also an attack creator who can play as a second striker. No doubt the assist also came from him.
One of the histories carved out by Bergkamp was against Leicester City in February 1999. Arsenal won 5-0 through Nicolas Anelka’s hat-trick and Ray Parlor’s two goals. Bergkamp provided four assists in the match.
Leicester witnessed a slick game and vision of playing the three-time Premier League champion. Four assists in one Premier League match. The record lasted for seven years.
According to Squawka’s record there are only four players who can do it, the unique thing is that they have played at Arsenal, namely: Jose Antonio Reyes (2006), Cesc Fabregas (2009), Emmanuel Adebayor (2012), and Santi Cazorla (2013).
The five players will forever enter the history of English football and Arsenal. The first name mentioned died on June 1, 2019 due to a car accident at the age of 35 years.
