Former Arsenal star Dennis Bergkamp: 'I'll never fly again'

Dennis Bergkamp insists that he will never step on a plane again due to his fear of flying.

Former Arsenal star Dennis Bergkamp has revealed that he will never step foot on a plane again due to his fear of flying.

The 44-year-old, who currently works as assistant manager to Frank de Boer at Ajax, used to restrict his European away days with Arsenal to places where he could travel by road or train.

In his autobiography Stillness and Speed, which is being serialised in The Independent, the former Netherlands international has insisted that he has no plans to fly again.

"I've flown countless times in large planes, small ones, tiny ones," said Bergkamp. "At Ajax, I once flew in a minuscule plane over Mount Etna near Naples when we got into a terrible air pocket. In terms of flying, I've seen and done it all and I'm simply not flying again. Ever."

Bergkamp has also revealed that he had a number of "childish" arguments with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
