Released by Willem II's reserves for having 'too many limitations,' Virgil van Dijk rebuilt his career at Groningen, where advanced appendicitis nearly ended it, then rose through Celtic and Southampton. His 2018 move to Liverpool for a then-world-record £75m for a defender transformed the club, winning the Champions League and Premier League, and he was named UEFA Player of the Year in 2019. As Netherlands captain since 2018, the towering centre-back leads the Oranje at what is likely his final World Cup.
- The only defender ever to win the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award (2019)
- Wears only his first name on his shirt
- Surpassed Frank de Boer's record for most matches as Netherlands captain
