6 Mark van Bommel
Mark van Bommel's professional career started at Dutch club Fortuna Sittard, where he spent seven years before moving to PSV Eindhoven in 1999.
Barcelona employed him for only one season in 2005/06, but it proved enough time for him to lift the Uefa Champions League trophy, before Bayern Munich brought him to the Allianz Arena, where he now captains the side.
The midfielder broke into the Dutch national side in 2000, but had to wait six years to play in a major tournament as he missed out on the 2002 World Cup, with Netherlands failing to qualify, and was sidelined with injury during Euro 2004.
He is the son-in-law of current Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk.
