Dear all, mau klarifikasi aja kalau Bergkamp takut terbang bukan karena setelah naek pesawat yang gonjang ganjing, tapi karena isu iseng dari jurnalist yang ikut terbang waktu itu.
"Aviophobia Dennis Bergkamp is well known for having a disabling fear of flying <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_flying>, which developed after the Dutch squad were involved in an incident concerning their aircraft during the 1994 FIFA World Cup <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup> in the United States <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States>.^[10] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Bergkamp#cite_note-9> The Dutch squad travelled together with a group of journalists, one of whom made remarks about the long waiting time, wondering if there was a bomb on the plane. This provoked a panic amongst passengers and in particular Bergkamp. This incident reminded Bergkamp of a plane crash <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surinam_Airways_Flight_PY764> which killed many Surinamese-Dutch players when they flew to Suriname. Ever since, Bergkamp has had a dislike of flying. This gave rise to the nickname the /non-Flying Dutchman/, a variation on /The Flying Dutchman <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flying_Dutchman>/. He was thus often unable to play for Arsenal outside of England. He would, if required, take a train or drive there himself. The tiring nature of such long journeys to Europe forced him to miss domestic matches around European away games. Bergkamp retired from international football after the 2000 European Football Championship <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_European_Football_Championship>." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Bergkamp#Aviophobia regards, Billy Tan Arsenal, The team they watch in heaven.
