Farewell to Dennis Bergkamp and Highbury
If you are wondering why I put Dennis Berkamp before Highbury in the Title then it is very intentional. I started watching Soccer and supporting Arsenal because of him. Nothing gives me more pleasure in life than watching this man on the football. His grace, vision, technique is like nothing on Earth.He s just very very special. I started blogging a few months back with an article on him.
As i have said earlier, he is the best import to English Football and he will leave an indelible mark on the game. As the chances of watching his testimonial lool slim and he might only figure in the final at Paris briefly, this might be the last time we see this genius in action. Dennis thanks for everything, we remain eternally grateful to you.
The last game at Highbury will be an emotional one for all associated with this great ground...the Players, the manager and the fans. The North Bank, Clock End and East Stand will be seen for the last time.
Highbury is a unique ground because of the size of the pitch and the proximity of the fans to the game in the centre. This has been the ground where many a battle has been fought and given many memorable moments to the gunners. Many of the all time great footballers have graced this pitch. It will be an over whelming time for all gunners and the players will make this an occassion to remember.
Bergy and Highbury will never be forgotten and live in our memories for ever.
Come on you gooners....

What a game! Every ingredient to ensure the final 90 minutes went out with bang, including high drama as we listened to the score from across the other side of London. That man Henry was on a different planet once again! Ashburton Grove looks most impressive, but I will miss Highbury!
Sorry, forgot to mention DB10. Like you he is my favourite all time Gunner and will forever be associated with his vision and great first touch. Although there are countless memories his match winning performance against Everton last season, in the Magnificent Seven was perhaps his greatest moment at Highbury.
U must v had a ball. Good that we ll be in the Champions League next season irrespective of wat happens on th 17th.
Did u manage to take any snaps though?
Of course! I took hundreds of pictures! The best are over on my FlickR
