Sol Campbell picks his Dream 5-A-Side line up for Soccer AM, but who is he putting up front; Thierry Henry or Dennis Bergkamp?

Sol Campbell has picked his Dream 5-A-Side line up for Soccer AM.

The former Arsenal, Tottenham and England defender has played with a host of great names over the years during his distinguished playing career.

But he had a tough choice between two Arsenal legends when picking his striker, eventually opting for Thierry Henry just ahead of Dennis Bergkamp.

He said: "I am going to go for Thierry. Sometimes you just need someone in those tight situations in a big game to be able to turn something out of nothing and get a goal.

"You need great forwards, but sometimes you need a lucky forward as well and I thought Thierry had both. He was very skilful, but also had a knack of being in the right position at the right time.

"It is hard because this is five-a-side. I am struggling because there's so many top, top players I could easily have put in there.

"Dennis Bergkamp came incredibly close. He was strong, quick and he was a genius on the ball. He could be very clever in his movement off the ball.
