Bergkamp To Have Statue At The Emirates (via Ajaxfansuk409):
The statue is based on the classic image of the former Holland striker controlling the ball in the air against Newcastle in 2003. Sculptures of Henry, Adams and Chapman were erected in December 2001 and it is thought Bergkamp will be unveiled before the start of the 2013-14 season.
An Arsenal spokesman said: “We currently have statues outside Emirates Stadium commemorating three legends in Arsenal’s history — Herbert Chapman, Tony Adams and Thierry Henry — and we’re delighted that they have been extremely popular with visitors to the stadium. […]
Bergkamp was signed by Bruce Rioch from Inter Milan for £7.5million in 1995.
He went on to score 120 goals in 423 games for the Gunners, winning three Premier League titles and four FA Cups.
