Bergkamp testimonial

[JacoboRoberto]

this game must have been legend wait for it DARY!!!

[megalolkiller]

JOHAN CRUIJFF WIE KENT HEM NIET JOHAN CRUIJFF JOHAN CRUIJFF IS EEN ECHTE AJACIED

[TheRonalds14]

It seems Steve Bold is still searching for that ball at 8:00

[suckerkevin76]

Why did the crowd boo-ed david? The Ajax no. 8 in the second half..

At 7:26 7:37 7:57

[jrubinstein42]

@suckerkevin76 He played for Tottenham at the time.

[Johonamona]

@suckerkevin76 ex tottenham!

[6Swishhh9]

@suckerkevin76 played for tottenham......

[Bapi633]

To me you're the best. You had always been my best, you'll remain so, Dennis. Your retirement brought tears to my eyes, just realising the fact that I'll never see you play week in week out. I'm finding it difficult to hide my emotion as right now I'm watching this. May God bless you and your family, Dennis. Love you.

[DennisBerg101]

Haha, fantastic skill by Van Basten!

[jahan2k7]

naruto121221 It was the first game in the emirates stadium in 2006 & in the second half Ajax Legends were playing & van der Sar is a Ajax legend

[naruto121221]

which year was this? y is van der sar playing 4 AJAX?

[serz1885]

wtf where is kluivert

[dgenerate68]

the 9 dislikes are leicester fans because of the brilliant hat-trick from bergkamp in 97

[eniren10]

Van basten, age may have took his strength, but it would never take his brains and techniques.

[saintconnnor]

you know you are big when van basten en cruijff both put on their football shoes for your testimonial,

noone else in the world can say that

[AjaxAmsterdam34]

van basten still had it... wow :D

[vika0194]

I was there

[JoeMoSexuals]

Cruiff must of thought, wow, this is the way I wanted to play football, this Arsenal team I would have to say is the best team ever to walk the plannet, I'm sorry Bergkamp, Henry just the superstar names Peres was good as any barcelona player there whole team was perfection

[AjaxAmsterdam34]

@JoeMoSexuals

HAHAHAHHA no, i think he would rather play with ajax 1995 ;)

[Ibvar7447]

Cruijff is a legend, i would go as far as to say he was the greatest player in the world ever. He had everything, technique, extremely fast with the ball on his foot, nr 10, nr 9, director of any team, leader, team player. This man and his footbal philosophy has changed footbal. Barcelona today executes the wet dream of Cruijff, this is how he wants footbal to be played. And so it's no surprise he is the architect behind the scenes of this Barcelona, and in future for AJAX again :-)

[highflyingdwarf]

4:43 Basically the double winning team from 97/98 :D

[tenseman08]

how fitting the king was the first arsenal player to score at the emirates

[weatherallc05]

all those players were class, that wim jonk was good but when he went to sheffield wednesday he wasnt that good. i wold love to have that ajax team back, it wold destroy europe

[weatherallc05]

van basten and cruyff are just fucking amazing, and look at henry beating the great edwin. noone can handle thierry

[syukrihantu]

Man , even the great van der sar couldn't stop henry's cool finish :D

[MrMarshmellos]

just beautiful!

[ryanmazdaLAX]

goddamn van basten, even when retired for 10 years he still pwns.

[YasiN2010BoXinG]

is that essien at 5:34 in wid the arsenal fans

[28ossie]

@YasiN2010BoXinG

it seems so!

[eetjaarem]

Johan Cruyff, the best player ever to play at the Emirates lol

No but seriously, this still gives me goosebumps.

[ostime14]

@eetjaarem actually thierry henry is ;)

[eetjaarem]

@ostime14

What? No. I'm a big Arsenal fan and I love Henry (no homo) but come on, Johan Cruyff was named the best European player of the 20th century. He was better than Platini, Zidane, Best, Moore, Beckenbauer, Van Basten, Gullit, Baggio, Hagi, Laudrup and many other great legends.

I rate Bergkamp higher than Henry. And I rate Cruyff higher than Bergkamp.

[ostime14]

@eetjaarem i know dude i was joking man, ye cruyff is the best, a true footballing god, all three are gods, but tbh i'd say henry is better than bergkamp, it hurts me to say that as they are both so awesome but i would say the king is just about better than the iceman

[aukieboy07]

hoeveel mensen waren er toen dan

[ahmedsiddiqi90]

wenger should sign van basten

[Miro2ros]

This was a beautifull day, too bad Bergkamp did not play the 2nd half with Ajax and with Van Basten and Cruijff, that would have been the real icing on the cake, a shame the organizers didn't see that option at that time, but still what a wonder to see so many legends in 1 match. And for now VIVA LA REVOLUTION, VIVA CRUIJFF, EL SALVADOR, bring the real Ajax back please Johan !!

[FLINTSTONEAFCA]

Ajax made legends!

[BenBlunt1]

@FLINTSTONEAFCA

yes, Vermaelen too

[iJanCees]

this is great

[djdenns]

small country but great players !

[kooora18]

Wenger looks younger somehow lol

[racandroll]

Van Basten is a God.

[daanovic]

Cruyff, Bergkamp and van Basten on 1 pitch....

so sick

[megalolkiller]

@daanovic i have noticed that van basten is popular in england why he never played at an english club but i do like it

[joopvanthofff]

It's so cool to watch Van Basten play like this in 2006. Everybody should also check the vid where he scored the goal in Albertini's memorial match also in 2006. Great player.

[YCreator]

damn, this is history. even the refferee at 6:45 us amazed at the comming of cruif and van basten

[YCreator]

damn, this is history. even the refferee at 6:45 us amazed at the comming of cruiyf and van basten

[Endrow78]

7.40-7.50: magie tussen Wim Jonk & Marco van Basten. Prachtig!

[carlin146]

9 duitsers hebben dit filmpje bekeken

[Miro2ros]

@carlin146 Hahahahahaha

[twentyletternamesftw]

wow i didnt know that van basten and cruiff played this game

[LoZTwilight]

people stop saying cruijf wasnt good here i mean come on, if you watch the entire game you will see from the moment cruijf comes in to play and he starts to what people need to do and how they should walk and who needs to be where the entire ajax legends team starded playing, so even at the age of 60 he know what to tell them as a captian and he gave some good passes during the game.

i wanna see you guys as his age lest see how you'll be doing by then.

[Nik1917Tovarish]

@LoZTwilight

[Miro2ros]

Just beautifullllll

[josevanreyes]

Van Basten is amazing

[djdenns]

bergkamp one of the best no 10 ever

van basten the best 9 ever

[dopedopedopelos]

Toen ik hoorde dat ik voor mijn diploma naar deze wedstrijd toe mocht, heb ik tranen van geluk gehuild. Wat er ooit zal gebeuren, dit was en blijft de allermooiste wedstrijd uit mijn leven!

Dennis Bergkamp, mijn nummer 1 voor ever!

[manutdreubenronaldo]

wow pitch full of legends

[Silverhazed]

Fantastic atmosphere, a stadium filled for one player. It's touching.

[blindvidwatcher]

idd schaduw spits, zo lang niet meer gehoord die term!

[SuprXer0]

wow! van basten!!!!! did you see his brilliant action?

[Fr1tz3l]

Why did they BOOO Davids?

[NastyWayz]

spurs scum

[Fr1tz3l]

@NastyWayz I think it almost an insult to Bergkamp to have that on his testimonial match... just get over it for 130 minutes

[NastyWayz]

Bergkamp was seen joining in with the boos and getting the crowd to boo Davids. Did u not know?

[Fr1tz3l]

@NastyWayz Nah I didn't, thats why I asked in the first place! But if Berkamp did that its all good and I understand the humour of it =) I only saw the clip of the match and was confused by the Boo's at a testimonial match!

You have to understand us Ajax fans have nightmares about testimonials ever since Cruijfs Ajax - Munchen!

[therobjen03]

because his play's by the rival of arsenal( the spurs)

[TheGreatOne112113]

Did the arsenal fans do? Probably cause of his time in Tottenham Hospur

[Davidd827]

i didnt notice david seaman in goal for the second half???

[hancompagne]

De mooiste wedstrijd ooit. Echt kippenvel van de eerste tot de laatste minuut.

[GreatnessItself]

Prachtig

[HoSayLiaoLah]

It is amazing how Kanu can look so lazy but is actually so deadly!!! Observe carefully and u can see that beneath the laziness lies a magical ball control.

[luissuarez16]

AFCA 428

[anar831]

How many legends in one game... Cruyff, van Basten, Rijkaard... Thanks 4 the video!

[pollegiebrianmay]

Bedankt voor Upload

[jermaineonealnumber7]

Perfecte voorzet ook van Manucharian.

Went uphill for Hunt from that point on too.

[milomartijn]

[metallicamaiden01234]

[Shakerce]

and he's gonna make A LOT more, you'll see, he's in target ;)

[jermaineonealnumber7]

And Pirès :( The Big 4.

[blagultfan]

[MrF4bregas]

A shame Bergkamp got too old, he was amazing for us /:

And Vieira :(

[azabee1]

[loekie1976]

[RVPGOONER055]

Good-bye bergkamp we will miss you.

[arsenalboi9]

i was there

[DaVooz]

Good for you! You are one lucky b*sterd for having witnessed so many football legends in one game!

[dio2210]

why did everyone boo edgar davids when he has the ball?

[sgtgorillaz]

he played for spurs at the time

[nin0157]

Because he played for tottenham. Worst team ever to kick a football ;). Arsenals arch enemy

[IIxOverlordII]

Van Basten stil got it....

[credion]

oow ik kijk ook eens een filmpje hoor en kijk eens wie ik tegen kom mr fifa

[IIxOverlordII]

nerd....

[credion]

mij nerd noemen? terwijl sinds jij fifa speelt opeens voetbal filmpjes kijkt

[IIxOverlordII]

er is ook nog zoiets als op voetbal zitten en voor ajax zijn owja,,

[mfgibson]

Thomas Vermaelen should be playing!

[JaahJeMoeder]

You're a fucking idiot.

Vermaelen is no legend at Ajax, and they had Heitinga and Stam for the first half.

So he shoudn't play

[lankeh]

van basten skinned cygan rofl

[WoxBAZZAxoW]

thats not cygan thats bould ya noob

[lankeh]

haha so it is lol ty for correcting me

[Robinho1479]

lol - Ajax Legends vs Arsenal Legends... and Cygan

[loekie1976]

a question.... did they make a dvd from this in the uk..... with englisch commentators..... please please tell me?????

[clockendboy]

I like when Davids got booed, lol.

[SuprXer0]

wow..beautiful moment when van Basten and Cruijf enters the football pitch!

[nickbalfour11april98]

van bastan class shows how good he was 20 years ago.

[kotten91swe]

anyone know the line-ups?

[sangtus19866]

amazing, van basten still has unbelievable control and vision.. brilliant!

[trykas93]

Arsenal Legends will always be the best

[stephwheeler2k]

Wow, this is so cool. Van Basten tries one of his wonder goals and almost makes it. I'm kinda disappointed Cruyff didn't try his trademark move. If I'm a player and see him doing it, I would purposely drop on the floor :D.

[MullerNL]

thats not realy nice to say about cruyf ...>!

you know the man is about 60 years old ...than you can't show youre Skills' any more....

i want to see Maradonna on his age ... ..

[wizebeard]

your right cruijff isn't at his best any more

[kingshahine]

no fucking shit. hes 62 you idiot.

[wizebeard]

that's what i'm saying.. YOU IDIOT...

[theNikki1]

wow, I don't think you are in position to critice cruijff. Lets see when u are 62 how u play

[JaahJeMoeder]

Maradonna is even younger and allready worse than Cruyff..

Maradanno has always been worse than Cruyff

[orcmisha]

@JaahJeMoeder

ehm.. maybe you should actually watch Maradona before you start saying Cruyff is better..

Van Basten himself does dare to compare himself with Cruyff , but he doesn't dare to compare himself with Maradona.

[Prakorn]

@orcmisha

Cruijff was before Maradona, so was Pele before Cruijff. Very difficult to compare those players. Although maradona has some serious issues in his private life.

[boi414]

fucking stupid asshole he's 62 years old and never say something like that about the best player ever existed

[webberrr]

racist cunts

[Crumisodamis]

cygan played first half and bould second

Cygan was the bould guy at the first half

[killapokerpro]

van basten is fuckin awseome..

[dvdsccr]

I love the double sub of cruijff and van basten great stuff. 8:06 hahaha i love how pascal cygan the current villareal center back got owned by van basten even when hes like 45 hahaha i love it

[dvdsccr]

or whoever that bald dude is

[aaroneshref]

thats steve bould not cygan

[fadinho89]

thees old birds still got skill man! van basten and cruyff! haha...

[weiboyz]

lol why is davids getting so much jeers?

[siegfried89]

At that time he was a tottenham player.

[fadinho89]

why take the rivalry on a next level? this is a testimonial man...

[siegfried89]

i agree

[fadinho89]

and when i heard the jeers... it just turns me off.. ruined a beautiful game of legends...

[fiorantino]

too bad u didnt get the missed penalty but this was beautifal still miss bergkamp :)

[Paulus2084]

@siegfried89 me to! dishonered bergkamp with that

[somaliexpert100]

"One goal Kanu"

[somaliexpert100]

How come shitty Van Der Sar couldnt save Kanu shot?

[klote2314]

hey he aint shitty -.-: he is one of the best keepers on the world

[somaliexpert100]

Sorry, I'm a hater. Of Manure. (Man Utd)

[klote2314]

lol should of bought him before man utd did xD

[rhijntje]

Because Menzo was the goalkeeper at that moment....

[somaliexpert100]

Menzo?? Who's that??

[MullerNL]

YOu are a fool ...>? have you seen Van de Sar as a Black person ....stopid ass look again It's Menzo ..you nOob

[somaliexpert100]

"One goal Kanu"

2-1 >D

[robeng83]

it wasnt't van de sar who was on goal when Kanu scores, it was Stanley Menzo!!

[somaliexpert100]

Really? And my mother is Maria Carey!

[robeng83]

Yeah really, sinds when is van der sar black?? Look closely

[somaliexpert100]

Didnt the fuckin lineup of the ajax legends say Van der sar? HUH??

WHEN KANU HAD A SHOT AND IT WENT IN.THE MOTHERFUCKER WAS WHITE. HE AINT'T STANLEY FUCKIN MENZO!!

[robeng83]

Whatever.... I was in the stadium and i remember that vd sar begun the second half but was replaced for the last 15 min. for Menzo.

Just for the record.....

[rubanovic]

Why does the crowd whistle when Davids is on the ball??

Off course Bergkamp, Van Basten and Cruijff were in the team, but he is also a great player!!

[4mbush]

He (had) played for Tottenham Hotspur at the time, Arsenals biggest rivals traditionally I think.

[desigb]

WOW,Van Basten remember how to play.What a class!

Perfect testimonial for Denis.he deserve it

[dean885]

thank u so much dennis u truely r a legend we will never forget...the most skillfull player 2 ever wear the red n white...you n thierry u front was just unreel it was like ye could read each others mind,long live the beautiful free flowing gooners,,,in arsene we trust!!!

[JaahJeMoeder]

by the time this video is posted, no one knew he would play in a game again.

Oke its quite obvious but it is most likely his last arsenal game. maybe in a goodbye game with henry wen it comes? would be great.

[amcdarkness]

you now this is not the last time bergkamp played the game for jaap stam he played in the stam friend team

[Conceicao1976]

I think this testimonial was not only a tribute to Dennis Bergkamp, but also to Dutch football... Seeing Bergkamp, Van Basten and Cruijff on the same pitch is awesome.

Maybe we will see similar stuff with e.g. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Pele.

Or in France perhaps with Henry, Zidane and Platini.

[Axelocker]

hehe edgar davids gets buuuhd out

[underdogg20]

If you were wandering, this is dutch commentary since the match was broadcasted live on dutch television...

[blackpool123456]

being a humble blackpool supporter, bergkamp,overmars was just pure  class 4 me

thanks dennis 4 so much enjoyment

[Yashiv88]

Could you imagine a double sub with van Basten and Cruyff at their peak coming on? yes i know it's not possible but the sight of it would just be demoralising to any team :P

[Miro2ros]

Who was the best ? Bergkamp was the best beautiful goal scorer, Van Basten was the best nr 9, an amazing striker with amazing technical skills, but cruyff is the master of the puppets, for me he is the absolute best cause he was the embodiement of total football, he understands and plays the game totally ! How happy it makes me they all come from Ajax, how sads it makes me Ajax doesn't rule anymore because of the money game !

[Amidat]

@Miro2ros - yeah - not just ajax... all clubs in "small" countries suffer from this... sad

[Miro2ros]

@Amidat True !, but Ajax is not just a club from a small country, it's a club from a "cosmopolitan & famous city" that exceeds even the country that it holds. A club that is the basis for the Dutch national team and the Barcelona of this day. Maybe with the UEFA financial fair play rules that will come things will change a bit in our advantage, let's hope so.

[Amidat]

@Miro2ros - I hear you... My two favorite clubs - Arsenal and Barcelona both love Dutch (and especially Ajax) players - LOL... i actually picked Holland to win the WC 2010 before it started... and they let me down...

[djdenns]

marco loved the ball

AND THE BALL LOVED MARCO

the best number 9 ever

[loekie1976]

great to see al the old players from the uk and the netherlands..... cruijff,vanbasten,wright,dixon­, just great.

[unskilled02]

best match ever seen :D

[Sitalovic]

And immediately you see Cruijff pointing where the ball must go and commanding the play. What a legend.. Van Basten shows his usual skill.. This match was fantastic! no matter how old they get, they still have their brilliance!

[spamkam]

Cruyff, van Basten, Bergkamp together on the field. Gives me shivers!. Van basten retired 15 years ago but he will always keep his class. What a player. what about that header against barcelona (Albertini's memorial match) from van basten. It all proves he would be even bigger if he hadn't been injured.

[OrangeGooner]

Really enjoyed watching our old heroes, Wright, Dixon, Winterburn and of course Bergkamp.

[charlampos]

de 3 beste nederlandse voetballers op een veld!!! wie was nou de beste? ik weet het niet?

[G4eva]

I love Dennis Bergkamp! Arsenal legend forever. Amazing to see all these legends of football on the same pitch. Edgar Davids was getting booed the whole game because he was a tottenham player at the time, lol. So many Ajax and Arsenal all-time greats, including my favorite player when I was young, IAN WRIGHT!

[stuta07]

Ajax Amsterdam

[loekie1976]

did they make a film of this in england or arsenal.... can anybody tel me that..... you can send me a mail.... doesn't matter i want to pay for it...

[asarhan04]

marco van basten is like 43, retired like 10 yrs ago and he's still pretty damn good. but again this was only a friendly and you can't use it as a definitive way to judge skills

[magnificent4life]

with wat he did, friendly or no friendly he would've still do the same. HIS BLOOD IS STILL ACTIVE, Watch his ball control

[dragoninferno3343]

The only reason van basten still has it, is because he retired early, he easily could've played until like 1997. But retired because of his injury.
