The word artist is often thrown around football, but few players in recent memory are more fitting of that description than Dennis Bergkamp.
On Sunday, he was honoured once more, this time with the Football Writers' Association Tribute Award, and they have now released a fantastic video of his best goals.
While not an out-and-out striker by any means, the Dutchman hit 301 goals in a stunning career that saw him thrive at both club and international level.
122 of them came with his boyhood club Ajax, 22 while with Inter, and a further 120 in his decade-plus stint at Arsenal, where he became a true icon of the Premier League. There was also 37 for the Netherlands.
Among his very best are his last-minute winning goal in the 1998 World Cup quarter-final clash with Argentina, and his simply ridiculously skilled strike against Newcastle for the Gunners in 2002.
Sit back and enjoy three minutes of pure magic.
Bergkamp's status in North London is such that he has a statue outside the Emirates, and it's little wonder when you look at how truly brilliant he was.
