Van Nistelrooy began his career at Den Bosch in 1993 and spent four seasons at the club before joining Heerenveen for a year and then moving to PSV. It was at PSV where van Nistelrooy gained prominence for his clinical finishing ability and secured a move to Manchester United three years later.
During the 02-03 season, United claimed the Premier League, and the Dutchman, the golden boot, while the club bowed out of the Champions League in the quarter-final stage of the tournament to Real Madrid.
The Dutch striker then moved to Real Madrid in 2006 and spent four seasons at the club before spending a year each at Hamburg and Malaga, before calling time on his career.
