Ibrahim Afellay - Promising youngster

Twenty-two-year-old Ibrahim Afellay is considered to be one of the most exciting young talents in Dutch football.

A creative right-sided midfielder, his career has matured over the last five years at PSV Eindhoven, and he was one of the club's outstanding performers in their 2007/08 Eredivisie title triumph.

Afellay joined PSV from Utrecht amateur outfit USV Elinkwijk as did his friend and club-mate Ismaïl Aissati.

Robben Is No. 1 !!!


The Dutch footballer Robben is one of the great players in Real Madrid.

Robben, born in Bedum on 23 January 1984, was not around to see those halcyon days of ‘Total football’ and was little more than a toddler when his current international manager spearheaded a memorable Dutch triumph at the 1988 European Championship.

However, since beginning his career with FC Groningen in November of 2000 and winning the club’s Player of the Year award while still just 17, the winger has set about making history all of his own.

Robin Van Persie - Problematic Striker

Arsenal striker spent most of his time on the bench during the last season.
In this season he is more significant...

According to Wikipedia his father brought him up as a single parent.
He grew up in a rough neighbourhood of Rotterdam. He had a series of behavioral problems at school and was often excluded from school.
He even was accused of rape by a Dutch-Nigerian beauty queen in 2005.
The Dutch police eventually released him without charge after they completed their investigations.
After Thierry Henry , Arsenal star striker , has left to Barcelona , Van Persie is expected to assume the role as the main striker of the English club.
