June 01, 2020 Dennis Bergkamp - Part 1
There was obviously a lot to cover when we caught up with the legendary Dennis Bergkamp, so we've split this interview into two parts. In the first part we hear about Dennis's arrival at the club back in 1995, his first encounter with strike partner Ian Wright, and the relationship he had with Arsène Wenger. He tells us about his partnership with Thierry Henry and how his arrival changed his own role. Dennis also reveals what life was like inside the Arsenal dressing room at the time, and who he liked to socialise with away from the pitch.
