To pick more holes into your argument, Mr Dee, Dennis Bergkamp was half way to winning the double on his 29th birthday (the second part of the double was completed in a week of his 29th birthday so still surely counts in your age settings?), so to suggest he won nothing in that age period you set is erroneous.
He also took the PFA Players player of the season award.

Nope
I'm halfway to winning the lottery as I have bought a ticket.
Can I get my money now?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, halfway as in he already won the PL title, and the FA Cup was secured within 6 days of his 29th birthday, so he actually played in most rounds in the 26-29 age range.
Also, Cantona was 26 after the Leeds title season ended... So you can wipe that off. (He celebrated his 26th birthday on May 24th 1992, a full 3 weeks after Leeds last game)
The things you learn on the toilet!!

agreed. Actually cantona and Zola were complete failures in Europe

Gianfranco scored the winning goal in the 1998 cup winners cup final. Not a complete failure!

Zola also won UEFA Cup with Parma

I'm glad that someone pointed these facts out. The '98 winner he had only been on the field for 17 seconds.
I also remember him and Flo tearing Barca a new one in the '99 Champions League Quarter Final first leg.
Both Zola and Cantona had disappointing (or at least underwhelming) international careers, whereas Bergkamp is probably one of Holland's all-time greats, consistently performing in qualifiers and at major tournaments.
That fact always gave me the impression that maybe part of the reason Cantona and Zola were so impressive was because our league was quite poor when they came over and exotic skillful foreigners like them were something new and exciting.
Not that they weren't outstanding and very entertaining players mind.

One night in 2005, a handful of Dutch legends gathered for a dinner in an Amsterdam house.
As the night wore on, the conversation inevitably turned to ‘who was the greatest Dutch player of all time?’
Instantly, the great striker Jan Mulder chose a player who had come close, but never won the Ballon d’Or or even a Champions League medal.
“Dennis Bergkamp,” Mulder announced, “He had the finest technique.”
The room went silent, Guus Hiddink nodded his head in agreement, and the matter was settled.

He was a top player
But he wasn't better than Cruyff
And with that the matter is settled
