Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp believes that teammate Thierry Henry is a football great.
The French international has won the World Cup and European Championships with France and plenty of domestic honours with the Gunners. On a personal level, he is Arsenal’s record goalscorer.
“People talk of players from 20 or 30 years ago as being great players, but now people have the privilege of seeing Thierry and he's breaking record after record,” said Bergkamp.
“Years from now, people will realise that he is a very special player. I understand coming from my mouth that must mean something because I've played with a lot of good players but Thierry is very special.
“Statistically he's the best and that's for sure. For me he is the most complete player. Even with great players, there is always something you can say, like he didn't do this or he didn't do that – I still have to find a weakness with Thierry.
“If you say he's not a really good header – well the goals he makes with his head are tremendous. Maybe he does not put himself in that position but he can do it and there's no weakness there. He's the perfect player.”
