This flamboyant Dutch centre-back returns from a career-threatening shattered neck with a manic, relentless intensity that terrifies attackers. While his endless stamina and elite jockeying make him an elegant orchestrator of the backline, his bafflingly poor aerial heading remains a hilarious liability. He commands the pitch with pure, cinematic arrogance, proving that a repaired neck only made his iron-clad will even sharper.
