An unlikely piece of equipment helps Dirk Kuyt back onto the pitch into Brasilia – a large stapler.
Dirk Kuyt was known as much for his work ethic and determination during his time at Liverpool as his footballing ability – and it seems as though the Dutchman hasn’t changed much during his time playing in Turkey.
The experienced utility man suffered a blow to the head in the first half of The Netherlands’ World Cup third place play-off against Brazil – at least, that was, until the physio dug out the office equipment and simply stapled him back together.
