Zizou and Bergkamp

Thank you for the magic. Thank you for the wizardry.

Thank you for the memories.

Bergkamp, the non-flying dutchman, absolute class, Sublime. Would stroll around without doing anything of mention for 20 minutes and in a brief moment of magic that you would surely miss, the commentator would have to go "Goooooooaaaaaallllll ! and Bergkamp does it again" ... cant count the number of magnificent goals he has scored, but perhaps the two best the 2002 Premiership Goal of the Season, scored against Newcastle United and his game winning goal for the Netherlands against Argentina in the quarterfinal round of the 1998 World Cup.

Zizou, nothing that i can say will express the joy that he bought to watching the beautiful game. The quick swivel, the left foot volley and the nonchalance. Arguably the best modern footballer.

This is a sad year for the connoisseurs. We see two of the magicians of the game, Dennis Bergkamp and Zizou bid adieu.
