Dennis Bergkamp

Last night I was watching ITV4s Greatest World Cup Goals, and at number 3 was Dennis Bergkamp's excellent last minute winner against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup Finals. The comment attributed to this goal was, "Dennis Bergkamp has scored, a sublime goal, the sort of goal that only he can score"

One of my first footballing memories was of Dennis Bergkamp. It was England vs Holland at Wembley in 1993, the infamous "Do I not like that" campaign. Prior to "that" 2-0 defeat in Holland, England were held to a 2-2 draw at Wembley, and Dennis Bergkamp scored one of the finest goals I will ever remember. Sadly, I cannot find any footage, or even still images of the event... but those that did see it will certainly remember it.

There are certain goals that only the truly gifted can score, and Dennis Bergkamp is one of those truly gifted players. Here is a compilation, climaxing with that goal against Argentina.
