Dirk Kuyt was a tireless and versatile Dutch forward whose selflessness and work rate endeared him to supporters wherever he played. He starred for Feyenoord, both early in his career and in a triumphant return that brought a league title, and enjoyed a memorable spell at Liverpool.
Able to play through the middle or wide on the right, he combined relentless running with a knack for important goals, and was a durable presence in the Netherlands side that reached a World Cup final.
