Taryn's Adventures

This blog is to capture our wonderful memories of our travels abroad - Boston (19 June 2012 - 15 June 2013), London (29 September 2013 - 5 July 2014) and Oxford (1 October 2015 - Current). A tale of two South Africans living abroad... a poet/husband/advisor/eternal optimist studying political Theory at Oxford University, wanting to better the world, and me, a third generation Chinese South African who is the Executive Director of READ to RISE and children's book illustrator.

The unveiling of the Dennis Bergkamp statue at The Emirates Stadium

Yesterday, we attended the unveiling of the Dennis Bergkamp statue at The Emirates Stadium.

There was a big crowd present to see this legendary Arsenal player.

What an amazing atmosphere. The crowds chanted the song 'There's only one Dennis Bergkamp, walking along, singing a song, walking in a Bergkamp wonderland' and shouted 'sign him up, sign him up, sign him up'. Fans stood listening to the speeches and watching the unveiling of the statue. The statue is the iconic picture of Dennis Bergkamp kicking the ball while he is in the air.

Dennis went around doing interviews, taking pictures and signing autographs. He was about 2 metres away from us. So wonderful to see this great legend!
