    Dennis Nicolaas Maria Bergkamp
    (
    Dutch pronunciation:
    [ˈdɛnəs ˈbɛrxkɑmp]
    (
    listen
    )
    ; born 10 May 1969) is a Dutch former professional
    footballer
    , who until 21 December 2017 was the assistant manager at
    Ajax
    . Originally a
    wide midfielder
    , Bergkamp was moved to main
    striker
    and then to
    second striker
    , where he remained throughout his playing career. Nicknamed the "Non-
    Flying Dutchman
    " by
    Arsenal
    supporters due to his
    fear of flying
    , Bergkamp is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation.
    The son of an electrician, Bergkamp was born in
    Amsterdam
    and played as an amateur in the lower leagues. He was spotted by Ajax at age 11 and made his professional debut in 1986. Prolific form led to an international call-up with the
    Netherlands
    a year later, attracting the attention of several European clubs. Bergkamp signed for Italian club
    Inter Milan
    in 1993, where he had two underwhelming seasons. After joining Arsenal in 1995, he rejuvenated his career, helping the club to win three
    Premier League
    titles, four
    FA Cup
    trophies, and reach the
    2006 UEFA Champions League Final
    , which marked his last appearance as a player.
    With the Netherlands national team, Bergkamp was selected for
    Euro 1992
    , where he impressed, scoring three goals in the tournament.
    [4]
    At the
    1998 FIFA World Cup
    , he scored a memorable winning goal in the final minute of the quarterfinal against
    Argentina
    which has been regarded as one of the greatest
    FIFA World Cup
    goals.
    [5]
    Bergkamp surpassed
    Faas Wilkes
    's record to become the country's top goalscorer of all time in 1998, a record later eclipsed by
    Patrick Kluivert
    ,
    Robin van Persie
    and
    Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
    .
    Bergkamp has been described by
    Jan Mulder
    as having "the finest technique" of any Dutch international
    [6]
    and a "dream for a striker" by teammate
    Thierry Henry
    .
    [7]
    Bergkamp finished third twice in the
    FIFA World Player of the Year
    award and was selected by
    Pelé
    as one of the
    FIFA 100
    greatest living players. In 2007, he was inducted into the
    English Football Hall of Fame
    , the first and so far only Dutch player ever to receive such honour. In 2017, Bergkamp's famous goal against
    Newcastle United
    was voted as the best Premier League goal of all-time in the league's 25-year history.
