Dirk Kuyt
Born: July 22, 1980
Birthplace: Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands
Height: 6′ 0”
Weight: 170 lbs
Pos: F
Age: 26
Kuyt is seen as one of the best strikers in Europe after dominating the Dutch League with Feyenoord, where he scored 71 goals in 101 games. He made the move to Rafa Benitez’s Liverpool in August 2006 for around £9million, but has been a peripheral figure, thanks in part to Rafa’s rotation system.
A quick and strong player, with an excellent work-rate, once he starts scoring he is hard to stop and the Liverpool fans will be keen to see the best of the promising Dutchman.
Beginning his career aged 5 as a youth player with Quick Boys, he broke into the first team in 1998 where he soon caught the eye of Eredivise side FC Utrecht.
