Mitchel Bergkamp's dream was to follow his famous father into the Arsenal team – especially after being serenaded by 60,000 fans packed into the Emirates.
As a seven-year-old, he had held dad Dennis’s hand as the Dutchman walked around the pitch, following his testimonial against former club Ajax. The game marked the official opening of the Gunners’ new stadium. That was in 2006. Fast-forward to the present day and you will find the now 24-year-old in the less salubrious setting of National League Bromley.
But it is testimony to the determination and drive of Bergkamp Jr that he is still following his ambition to eventually leave his own legacy on the game.
