Allardyce explains Bergkamp snub

Last updated : 15 July 2003 By Brian Cartlidge

“I came close to signing Dennis Bergkamp, but he was not interested in coming north to play,” Allardyce told the Bolton official website.

“It’s disappointing because he would have been a fantastic acquisition for this football club.

"He was out of contract at Arsenal, and we could have budgeted for his wages.”
