After Naming Taribo West As Most Difficult Opponent, Arsenal Legend Thierry Henry Names His Best Teammate

• Thierry Henry has declared that former Arsenal teammate Dennis Bergkamp was the best player he ever played with
• Both superstars were part of the dominant Arsenal club that ruled the English Premier League back in the days
• Bergkamp who was scared of flights won two Premier League titles and two FA Cups alongside Thierry Henry

Former Arsenal star Thierry Henry has named former teammate Dennis Bergkamp as the best player he ever played alongside during his active days, SunSport reports.

This is coming a few days after the former France international admitted that ex-Nigerian defender Taribo West is one of his two toughest opponents.

Henry also named former England star Paul Scholes as the other though opponent he faced in his football career before he returned.

The Frenchman was a dominant figure in the Premier League, but before then he had spells with clubs in Italy as well as in his native France.

But now he has opted for his former teammate at Arsenal Dennis Bergkamp when asked whom the best player he ever played alongside.

CBS Sports host Kate Abdo asked Henry via SPORTbible:

“Who is the best player you played alongside?”

The 44-year-old swiftly responded: "Dennis Bergkamp.”

Abdo then pressed further, asking the Frenchman: "Not Messi?”

Henry answered:

"Dennis Bergkamp. Is it quickfire? Dennis Bergkamp.”

The Non-Flying Dutchman won two Premier League titles and two FA Cups alongside Henry.

Earlier in the year, Dennis Bergkamp was inducted into the Premier League Hall of fame following the likes of Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, Alan Shearer, Eric Cantona and Thierry Henry.

The former Dutch international played a major role in Arsene Wenger's three Premier League titles during his 11-year spell with Arsenal.

The 52-year-old has been fondly remembered for two great goals he scored against Newcastle which was voted the best in the first 25 years of the Premier League.
