Dennis Bergkamp will have mixed emotions as he formally retires from football with a testimonial between Arsenal and Ajax on Saturday.
The 54,000 sell-out is the first to be played at the new Emirates Stadium.
“A club like Arsenal deserves such a stadium, and I’m sorry I won’t be a part of it,” said the 37-year-old.
“But I had a tremendous career at Highbury and it is time to move on. I’ve had a great time, I really enjoyed myself. I really enjoyed my career.”
