En vandaag is officieel bekent geworden dat Bergkamp's testimonial de eerste in het niewe stadion gaat worden;
Dennis Bergkamp testimonial plans confirmed
After 11 tremendous years service, Dutch striker Dennis Bergkamp is set to play in a star-studded testimonial in his honour against his former club Ajax, in the curtain-raising match at Emirates Stadium, which has provisionally been planned for July 22, 2006.
Fans' favourite Bergkamp, who has played more than 400 times for the Gunners, is excited by the prospect of playing at the new stadium and is looking forward to linking up with some of his former Highbury team mates.
He said: "It will be an emotional day for me as I have spent the last 11 years here; playing some of the best football of my career. The supporters have been amazing to me and I hope that they will enjoy the day as much as I will.
"What will make the occasion extra special is not only will it be the first ever match at Emirates Stadium, it will be an opportunity to see Arsenal players past and present on the pitch at the same time."
