A combined lineup of the best Dutch players to ever play in the Premier League, featuring some real greats who featured for the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham…

GK: Edwin van der Sar

A great goalkeeper for both Fulham and Manchester United, Edwin van der Sar certainly made his mark in the Premier League before retiring in 2011.

DR: Daryl Janmaat

A fine right-back who enjoyed a strong debut season for Newcastle, Daryl Janmaat looks like he could have a great career in England, with few other Dutch right-backs to contend with in this lineup.

DL: Giovanni van Bronckhorst

A player who really shone at Barcelona, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst also had his moments in an Arsenal shirt and clearly deserves more of a chance.

Manchester United rumours

DC: Jaap Stam

One of the best defenders in the world for many years, Jaap Stam was immense for Manchester United and helped them to the treble back in 1999.

DC: Ron Vlaar

Few other Premier League Dutch defenders measure up to Stam, but Aston Villa’s Ron Vlaar has been very decent in his three seasons in English football.

DM: Edgar Davids

Despite joining Tottenham past his peak, Edgar Davids was an influential member of the Spurs team that so nearly finished fourth in 2005/06 and is a legend of the game for his career as a whole.

MC: Dennis Bergkamp

One of Arsenal’s best-ever players and an all-time Premier League great, Dennis Bergkamp has to go down as one of the most influential Dutchmen in English football history.

MR: Arjen Robben

An exciting youngster when he joined Chelsea, Arjen Robben arguably should not have been let go by the club when he was, and has gone on to enjoy great success at Bayern Munich.

ML: Marc Overmars

Another speedy goalscoring winger, Marc Overmars made a terrific impact when he joined Arsenal, firing them to the double in his first season with some vital goals.

FC: Robin van Persie

One of the best strikers of the last decade, Robin van Persie has been world class for both Arsenal and Manchester United, despite a recent dip in form.

FC: Ruud van Nistelrooy

Another Manchester United legend, Ruud van Nistelrooy was a goal machine for the club in his relatively brief spell, helping them to the title in 2002/03.
