The man of the moment Dick Advocaat has enjoyed far greater success as a manager than a player, though he is still remembered by some of his former clubs. He played for 10 different teams as a tough defensive midfielder. Though his playing days in Holland ended without major honours, he made several appearances appearances for the San Francisco Gales and Chicago Sting in a big to boost the profile of the sport in America. When his former club Roda JC was discontinued in 2009, he was described as their most famous player of all time, with 121 appearances to his name.
