Hello, PDG and James in particular once said that they like to know and see more about Bergkamp and also Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkaard. I made a while ago a similar thread about Ronaldo (Brazil) his national team statistics, plus a video too. Well, I figured out all of his goals and assists. They are available on youtube. I will make a similar list for Gullit, Rijkaard, Van Basten and all-time topscorer Kluivert as well. Before I start with the videos, here the basic stats and a few statistical trivia.

Kluivert is his successor (40 goals), his predecessor Wilkes (35 goals) congratulated him on the day he broke his record. Wilkes said: “No record is unbreakable, 35 years is way too long. I'm happy that such an elegant player did it instead of an simple goalscorer.” – All-star team for 1998 World Cup, was on preliminary list for euro92, World Cup 1994, euro 2000 – Joint topscorer at euro92 (3 goals), joint assist leader at World Cup 1998 (3 assists) and euro2000 (3 assists). – Only Dutchman to have scored in four different tournaments. - Is one of the thirteen Dutch players to have scored a hat-trick in a competitive match. Van Basten, Bosman and Rensenbrink are the only three who did it twice. Bergkamp, Piet de Boer, Cruijff, Huntelaar, Kluivert, Neeskens, Overmars, Van der Kuijlen, Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie did it once in their national team career. - Bergkamp was frequently lined up with #7, #8, #9 and #10 for the national team, depending on role and position. As said, I will also post it for the other players in this thread in order to open not superfluous new ones. But first I start with the videos.

He had around 25 assists for national team, 1 penalty kick goal and 0 free kick goals, that is certain.
An overview: In his Ajax days (1990-1993) he scored 13 goals in 23 caps (on two occasions he only played one half). He had 1 direct assist. He made seven goals using #7, five goals were made using #8 and one goal with #10. His only assist was with #8. In his Internazionale days (1993-1995) he scored 10 goals (1 PK) in 16 caps (on two occasions he only played one half). All 10 goals were scored with #10. All 8 assists in those 16 caps were created with #10 as well. In his Arsenal days (1995-2000) he scored 14 goals in 40 caps (on two occasions he only played -again- one half). One goal was scored with #7, two goals were scored with #10, five goals with #8 and six goals with (a rarely used) #9. Seven assists were created with #10, five assists with #8 and four assists with #9. [However: the team was disorganized at euro96 and at WC98 he played with an injured leg - that can serve as 'excuse'] It means that his ratio during his Internazionale years was remarkably at his best (10 goals + 8 clear assists in 16 caps). Other way of presenting this: Eight goals and zero assists were made with #7 Ten goals and 6 assists were made with #8 Six goals and 4 assists were made with #9 Thirteen goals and 15 assists were made with #10 Bergkamp was most often assisted by Marco van Basten (four times), Bergkamp his assists were most often scored by Kluivert (six times). Bergkamp assisted most often: Kluivert - 6 times Cocu - 4 times Rijkaard - 3 times Overmars - 2 times Winter - 2 times Bergkamp was most often assisted by: Van Basten - 4 Wouters - 3 F. de Boer - 3 Rijkaard - 2 Roy - 2 Rob Witschge - 2
Very absolute impressive statistical details as usual. Anyway, have you gotten any of Bergkamp's Assist Stats in club career ?
