The former England international has been vocal about the wild scenes he has witnessed backstage at a time that included plenty of humour as then manager Arsene Wenger “loved a little bit of fun”.
One of those crazy incidents involved Bergkamp pulling a fast one on kitman Vic Akers.
That was when two salespeople visited Arsenal‘s facilities to offer free perfumes to the team and Akers went to get some freebies.
The Dutch legend then sneaked from behind and pulled his shorts down thinking he is wearing underwear.
But the poor kitman had nothing underneath and that led to an awkward situation as well as plenty of laughter from Parlour who was present.
Akers was caught completely off guard and had no idea how to react in front of the stunned visitors.
But it all ended well as the former Arsenal man took the joke well and they all had a good laugh.
Parlour told SunSport: “There was always a little bit of fun because Arsene Wenger loved a bit of fun by the way.
“As much as he liked working hard and making sure every player knew what they were doing on a match day. He loved a little bit of fun and at times we used to hang out a bit after training. We’d just be having a bit of a fun really.
“There’s another one where it was quite funny, when Vic Akers, our kitman, came up and there was a couple of ladies up there giving away like perfume and all that sort of stuff for your wives and girlfriends and they can try it and see if they like it.
“And Vic always loved a freebie. So he came up and he stood on the side and Dennis Bergkamp walked behind him and pulled his shorts down. He had nothing underneath.
“And he didn’t know whether to pull his shorts up and he was sort of leaning on his feet as well.

“And I remember standing there all laughing and laughing. Poor ladies were like, ‘Oh!’ They didn’t know what to do the ladies either.
“And that was Dennis Bergkamp again, he was a little bit of a windup merchant. And he loved it. He even recently texted me and said about that.
“Do you know what, things like that are really good for your dressing room – really good for team spirit. And I remember sitting there for an hour laughing, I just couldn’t stop laughing about it.
“Vic, he took it really well, don’t worry about that, but just the way it happened is like slow motion and he didn’t know what to do whether to pull his shorts up.
“He didn’t know where to go. So that was quite a funny moment from Dennis again.”
