Favorite player ever.

Most naturally talented player we've ever had, don't @ me.

Keeper 'dives' like he's ~60 lbs overweight but what a hit to score the winner in in the 88th minute


The guy dived without jumping, he just fell sideways onto his shins.

Bergkamp has taken more talented shits that the rest of the top 10 prem players put together. Man literally patented his own skill move that none of these scrubs have been able to recreate to this day.

Converted his game from ST to CF to AM and was world class during all those periods.

Aesthetically always preferred Van Persie's technique and play style to Bergkamp.

:hiding:

All his movements just looked so deft and full of finesse.

Left footers are always more aesthetically pleasing to watch than right footers bar a rare few

It's more than that with RVP though, it's the way he shapes himself; his shot wind up was always beautiful, the way he opened his body up and his arms always look graceful whether dribbling or shooting.

His body mechanics are just balletic.

He's as relevant to me as Cole, Adebayor, Nasri and Sanchez.

All of them are stained.

Is he as big a c*** as Cesc?

I'd say he's just below.

Yep.

When he said that about the little boy inside him always wanting to play for man utd, I could seriously have given him an almighty open handed slap across his ear.

Ungrateful c***.
