Goal Ruud Van Nistelrooy for PSV

He is probably one of the most natural finishers in football at the moment and of the last 5 years or so. His statistics prove it! Here are some numbers to look at...
2001/2 36 goals in 34 games
2002/3 45 goals in 51 games
2003/4 35 goals in 50 games
2004/5 20 goals in 32 games (he was injured part of the year)
2005/6 24 goals in 40 games
2006/7 21 goals in 28 games (so far)




Why Marco VanBasten has not chosen him to play in the Netherlands squad is beyond me. He's still scoring goals and scored 3 against Levante a couple of weeks ago. He's not slowing down and I'm looking forward to watching him play while he is still playing well!! This goal below is not a typical one that Ruud scores so it makes it even more special...(video courtesy of Google Video)
