I knew you would mention him...but you are right, what a great player he was. Shame that he did not succeed in Italy (but maybe good for Arsenal).

To me Bergkamp is the personification of the new Arsenal, the club who always (or nearly always) plays the most attractive football and not the "old" Arsenal: boring Arsenal.

I remember in the 70's and the 80's when a match ended 1-0, it was called an "Arsenal score" over here on the continent...since Wenger and Bergkamp all this has changed.

He should be in this thread...i remember his goal against Newcastle and the one at the 1998 WC against Argentina...among the best goals i've ever seen.
 
Must say, this guy was fabulous as well

Yup, he was fabulous...but he wasn't used enough in Liverpool.
He was at his best while playing for Ajax...

We've overlooked another great one: Enzo Francescoli...

Currently Riquelme . All looked 'lazy' on the pitch but they could create time from nothing and because of their skill made things look effortless.
 
It's hard to awswer, in my heart I choose Rui Costa, but in my mind is Maradona or Ronaldinho.
 
for a classic 10 (not much speed, fast thinking, quick and accurate execution, ball control, excellent long/short passing ability) - Zidane/Rui Costa
for something higher then a classic 10 (with improved speed, agility, control over the ball and on the tempos of the game, and decisiveness in every part of it) - Maradona
