Dennis Bergkamp

May 20, 2021

Good afternoon everyone! Today, we are going to go over some of Dennis Bergkamp's earliest cards/stickers. It was just announced recently that he was one of the six players to get voted into the EPL hall of fame, so congratulations to him. Bergkamp made his professional debut in 1986 for Ajax at 17, his manager at the time was Johan Cruyff. He would play for Ajax for seven years, then moving to in 1993 to Inter Milan, where he would play in Serie A for two years, before moving in 1995 to Arsenal and retiring there. He was a part of "The Invincibles" team that went undefeated in the EPL. That team is still the only EPL that has gone through the whole season with losing a game.

First on the timeline, is his 1990-91 Panini Voetbal sticker, within that set you can find a team photo of the Ajax team that'll have him in there also. Then we have the French magazine Onze, which isn't popular in the hobby, but it's a cheap alternative to his sticker. In the 1991-92 season, you can find his second-year stickers from Voetbal and the Merlin Shooting Stars set. In the Voetbal set, there's a top goal scorer insert you can find of him. 1992 Euro's was his first major international tournament, and following that was the 1994 World Cup. For the 1994 World Cup, you have two options his Panini stickers or the Upper Deck cards. Lastly, is the on-card auto booklet of Marco van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp from the 2018 Panini Eminence release.
