Maarten Stekelenburg defended the Ajax goal in 311 official matches and, among other achievements, won four league titles with the Amsterdam club. In honour of his 44th birthday, we have compiled ten fine saves by the former Ajax player.
Maarten Stekelenburg has concluded his active career as a goalkeeper. At Ajax, the club where it all began, he played his last season. With a sense of fulfillment, 'Steek' looks back on a wonderful career before hanging up his goalkeeper gloves.
Matthijs de Ligt came through Ajax’s youth academy and developed into a key player and captain of Ajax’s first team. Between 2016 and 2019, the modern defender wore the Ajax shirt in 117 official matches. De Ligt gave the Amsterdam fans plenty to celebrate, finding the net thirteen times. This Wednesday, the former Ajax player celebrates his 27th birthday. A perfect occasion for a clip packed with football highlights, which also showcases a very young Matthijs displaying his talent (and confidence) as a youth player.
Patrick Kluivert is the Ajacied who came through the club’s entire youth academy, the Ajacied who scored on his debut, and the Ajacied behind the famous toe-poke goal against AC Milan on May 24, 1995. The striker celebrates his fiftieth birthday on Wednesday, and that means fifty goals from the Ajax legend in succession. Sit back and enjoy nearly 22 minutes of footballing brilliance.
