Ronald Koeman (Centre-back)
Currently the manager of English Premier League club Southampton, Dutchman Ronald Koeman was a versatile player capable of fulfilling both, midfield and defence roles. Often played as a sweeper due to his technical quality on the ball, Koeman was known for his dead ball prowess and passing ability. He is also one of the highest scoring central defenders in top flight football.
Koeman played in the legendary Dutch squad which had the likes of Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Dennis Bergkamp alongside him. The Dutch won Euro 1988 with Koeman marshalling the defence. He was included in the 1988 European Championships team of the tournament that year.
