Wesley Sneijder has spent the majority of his career at his first club Ajax, where he made 127 appearances and scored 44 goals from midfield.

He enjoyed a reasonably successful spell at Real Madrid between 2007-2009 before joining Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan side, playing a prominent role in their march to the 2010 Champions League Final.

Sneijder rose to prominence quickly on the international stage, breaking into the Dutch national team in the same year (2003) as his debut for the Dutch Under-21 side.

He represented his country at both the 2004 and 2008 Euro Championships, as well as the 2006 World Cup.
