Dennis Bergkamp/import

Dennis Bergkamp was a professional Dutch football player who played for Ajax, Internazionale and Arsenal. He also represented Holland in 79 international matches. His calm and controlled style of play earned him the nickname, The "Ice Man". He finished third in the FIFA World Player of the Year in both 1993 and 1997.

==	Ajax==

Like many other great European players of the 1990's and early 2000's, Bergkamp was brought up by AFC Ajax's youth system, having joined at the age of 12. He was given a professional contract by Johann Cruyff and in 1986 was given his professional debut against Roda JC. He made 14 appearances that season. Becoming a frequent addition to the squad during the 1987 season, he also came on as a substitute during Ajax's victory in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup against Lokomotive Leipzig. The next season he became a regular at Ajax, scoring 13 goals in the league. It was under the management of Louis van Gaal that Bergkamp really shone and, having won the Eredivisie title in 1990, he became the top scorer in the Eredivisie three years in a row from 1991 to 1993. He won the UEFA Cup in 1991 and the KNVB Cup in 1993. In total he made 239 appearances for Ajax, scoring 122 goals.

==	Internazionale==

In the summer of 1993, he was signed by Internazionale of Italy for £12 million, which made him, at the time, the second most expensive player in the world. Although he had been successful in his home country, Bergkamp found it difficult to adapt to the Italian style of play. In total, he scored only 11 goals at the club in 50 appearances. He did win the UEFA Cup again in 1994 but his poor form was added to by a tricky relationship with the Italian press and some of the players on his team.

==	Arsenal==

After two disappointing seasons seasons at Inter, he was bought by Arsenal manager, Bruce Rioch, in June 1995 for £7.5 million. Massimo Moratti said on his sale that Arsenal would be lucky if he scored even 10 goals in that season. He did actually score 16 goals. Although he needed time to adapt to the new style of play in Engalnd, he soon picked it up very well...
