1. Henry
2. Bergkamp
3. Vieira


I was blessed to see first hand the 97-98 season. Went to most games. Bergkamp played the highest level of football ever played imo.
I can see why Henry would be #1 though for those that did not get to experience Dennis in his prime.

Thing with Dennis is he assisted Wrighty and Henry to goalscoring records. Thats pretty much two eras.

It's difficult to explain to people the change he made to the the club when he arrived. We went from a decent team to the big time and he delivered.
It was a great honour to go to his testimonial in 2006 at the first match at the Emirates. Bergkamp Day.

I still remember my exact location when I found out we were signing him (and Platt?), I had visited my Gran and was walking past a newsagent in Ebrington Street in Plymouth. It was on the board outside so I went in and bought a paper and was buzzing for the rest of the day.

No SSN or internet back then. Just home to check ceefax at the end of the day for confirmation!

I'm too young to remember signing Bergkamp, but I do remember being stuck at f*cking Legoland all day when we signed Ozil.

I'd have Wright in top 3. Maybe Adams.

Bergkamp is 1 for sure.
