Ibrahim Afellay has spent his entire football career at current club PSV Eindhoven. He debuted for them in 2003 and has since become a regular starter for the Eredivisie outfit.

The midfielder, who is of Moroccan descent, had a difficult choice to make in 2007 when both the Dutch and Moroccan head coaches picked him for their national squads.

He eventually opted to play for the Netherlands, despite the tough competition for places.
