Dennis Bergkamp - Stillness And Speed

Product Description

In Stillness & Speed, one of football's most enigmatic stars finally opens up about his life & career, revealing the things that motivate & inspire him. Viewed by many as one of the most influential figures in Premier League history, & scorer of the goal that Arsenal fans voted the best in the club's history, Dennis Bergkamp is a true giant of the game. As a youngster, Bergkamp learned from the Dutch master Johan Cruyff. By the time the pupil was ready to graduate from Ajax & move abroad, he was ready to spread the word, but in Italy he found few willing listeners. It was only when he moved to Arsenal & linked up with Arsene Wenger that he met someone else who shared his vision for football's possibilities. Bergkamp became central to everything the club did: now he had become the teacher, their creative genius, & the one who inspired some of the wayward old guard to new heights, helping them to seven major trophies. Few footballers' books make you think anew, but in Stillness & Speed Bergkamp presents a new vision for the game & how it might be played. He was a player like no other; his story is told like no other. It is a book that will inspire football fans everywhere, whatever their allegiance.
