With a cockiness that makes strikers quiver, this Dutch defensive general dominates the air and snuffs out passing lanes with almost insulting ease. He still recalls the day he stopped a breakaway, paused to adjust his hair mid-play, and coolly strode away with the ball. Despite his imposing physical presence, he can be hilariously clumsy at standard tackles, a flaw he gleefully ignores as long as he remains the biggest personality on the pitch.
