Talk:Dennis Bergkamp

message: In main menu its written that he scored only 94 goals for Arsenal why does he have a ARSENAL Centurion video for scoring 100 goals?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.212.113.16 (talk) 15:57, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

message: About this, I believe I remember having heard that both his parents were killed in a plane crash. Can anyone confirm this? Seems like something that should go into the section on his aviophobia. Mortene 08:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Fear of flying

message: Although now retired from playing football, Bergkamp is having a testimonial game against Ajax which has provisionally been planned for July 22nd 2006. It will be the first game played at Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium. See http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=News&article=379251
Is this worth a mention in the article?

thread_title: Testimonial

message: Since the article already says that he primarily played hole, should his position be corrected to "Support striker" or "hole"?  Something similar has been done on the Franz Beckenbauer article, naming him as a sweeper. Partipo 05:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Support Striker? 

message: The article states he did a nutmeg on Ayala but Ayala's foot was in the air and the ball only bounced under his foot (that's what I saw at least) that's not a nutmeg.ErnestC 14:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  98 goal against argentina 

message: Would it be wise to remove the quote "Overmars was highly criticized during his years at Arsenal for "his seeming unwillingness to pass to anyone other than compatriot Dennis Bergkamp." [9]". As it seems not quite related somewhat.

thread_title:  Quotes on Marc Overmars 

message: If my memory serves me correctly, when Bergkamp won 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Match of the Day's Goal of the Month competition in August 1997, it was not for his hat trick against Leicester City (27/08/97). I believe he won 1st place for his final goal in that game, 2nd place for the opener and 3rd place for one of the two goals he scored against Southampton at the Dell (23/08/97). Perhaps, if someone could confirm this, the line "for a hat trick against Leicester City" could be deleted.--JayGee134 (talk) 12:52, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Here's a video of the goal of the month competition (not the results) that shows that the 3 hatrick goals were not actually in the competition... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NlHVNsPHKE tanc (talk) 23:47, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Goal of the Month 

message: At the end of the arsenal section it says "Bergkamp scored 120 goals for Arsenal in 424 appearances, and set up a further 166 goals in his Arsenal career. This makes him the top assist maker in Premier League history". However the BBC link does not state that he is all-time premier league top assist maker. Ryan Giggs article on wiki makes the same claim for him, and upon further investigation it would seem that other sources put Bergkamp in second place, behind Giggs.
such as:
http://www.premiersoccerstats.com/Records.cfm?DOrderby=OPAss&DYearby=All%20Seasons
A change in the text perhaps?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.118.49.48 (talk) 13:30, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most assits ever? 

message: Someone should put up all his assists from every season if possible, because that is what his whole game was about, can't believe no one has done that already.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.255.193.90 (talk) 14:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  His Assists. 

message: Why did his considerably biggest successes as Netherlands' national team player - double Euro bronze medal (92&00) - remain immentioned, unlike fourth place at 1998 World Cup?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.143.166.36 (talk) 19:29, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Honours 

message: I notice that in reverting the assists edit you also reverted the league appearances edit as well. In the BBC article that's linked to this wiki (Dennis Bergkamp's career in football) it clearly states that he made 315 league appearances, and from checking ESPN and various other websites it seems that the extra apperance has been added to the 04/05 campaign (this article stated that he made 30 appearances but in actual fact it was 20 starts + 9 subs, so 29 in total).
In addition, the total apps per season have been added up incorrectly (in some cases it's less than the sum of each part). This information is easily retrievable from the BBC, ESPN, premiersoccerstats etc. The official Arsenal website itself states that he made 423 appearances. With your permission I'd like to correct the totals. Thanks Renoog (talk) 18:51, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  League appearances 

message: The (International goals) section mentions that Bergkamp scored in EURO 96 against Canada which is impossible as Canada is not a european country . In fact Bergkamp scored against Switzerland .
And also it mentions that he scored in World Cup 98 also against Canada which never happenned as Canada never participated in that Mondial . He scored the mentioned goal against Yoguslavia (Serbia & Montenegro).
Please correct it .

thread_title:  International goals inaccuracy 

message: I believe that Mr.Bergkamps christian name is spelt wih only 1 n. Denis Bergkamp.
: Not done: In the article Denis Law, "Dutch authorities refused to recognise the name unless it was spelt with two n's as they felt it was otherwise too similar to the female name Denise." -- Lemonade51 (talk) 18:45, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: What is the source on that? and thats a differen thing from this page . OSE...?Lihaas (talk) 00:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It's quite clearly sourced in this article. "To comply with Dutch given name customs, an extra 'n' was inserted in Bergkamp's first name by his father after it was not accepted by the registrar" -- Lemonade51 (talk) 12:02, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In this Dutch article the story with the registrar is refuted, and it presents the real story, which is that his older brothers wanted him to be named Dennis and not Denis. IGeography (talk) 01:11, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone, I'd just like to draw your attention to this comment made by an IP at the Village Pump, which disputes the accuracy of the number of goals that we say Bergkamp scored for Arsenal. — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 08:43, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Goal numbers for Arsenal 

message: There is a bit of inconsistency with his height over the years. Many of his personal sites and bios have said 1.83m, while everything else says 1.88m. He certainly looked more like 1.88m so I think wikipedia has the coreect one, but why did Arsenal and Bergkamp himself list two inches shorter. Maybe he just didn't really know or care?!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.4.25 (talk) 21:32, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Height 

message: Given the officially confirmed reports regarding a statue being created and erected at the Emirates Stadium to commemorate the Dutch striker’s huge contribution to Arsenal shouldn't this article be edited, or a section created, to reflect this? 
The most reputable and credible source for this news must be from the Arsenal website:

I am relatively new to the Wikipedia community and therefore do not wish to make any amendments to this article before seeking advice from the wider community. In addition I apologise if this topic has already been discussed although I have already checked and have yet to find a similar discussion within this talk page.

message: Bergkamp didn't score 9 goals in the 1993–94 Coppa Italia while playing for Inter; according to this RSSSF source he only scored 2 goals, while according to this other RSSSF source, it was Sampdoria's Attilio Lombardo who was the top-scorer of the tournament with 5 goals that season. This source also confirms that he only scored 2 goals in 6 appearances in the tournament, not 9 goals in 13 appearances. I will correct this erroneous information which is currently in his statistics table. Best, Messirulez (talk) 14:47, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

message: The story about his father wanting to name him Denis after Scottish striker Denis Law, but having the name rejected by a registrar is completely false. This article (in Dutch) says the actual story is revealed in his biography Dennis Bergkamp written by Jaap Visser and David Winner. It was his older brothers who wanted him to be named Dennis instead of Denis. IGeography (talk) 01:20, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong spelling of name
