23 Rafael van der Vaart
Rafael van der Vaart is another product of the impressive Ajax Amsterdam youth system and played for the Dutch giants for six years from 2000, earning over 110 caps before moving on to German side Hamburg.
Current employers Real Madrid snapped up the attacking midfielder in 2008, and he wasted no time winning the fans over – scoring in the 4-3 La Liga win over Numancia.
He participated in the 2001 Fifa World Youth Championship and was selected for the senior squad for the 2006 World Cup and 2004 and 2008 Euro Championships.
Van der Vaart, who grew up in a caravan park, also boasts having one of the most gorgeous sporting wives in the world, Sylvie.
