He’s only 31 
Deary me. So it must have been 2007 when he was doing the business for Holland in the European U21 championships. Where do the years go? Royston Drenthe was another Dutch player who made waves at that tournament and ended up being shit.
They beat England in a marathon penalty shoot out. I think Rigters signed for Blackburn off the back of it and did fuck all there
I think Celtic had been interested in him at £1/2m and then Blackburn came in with an £8m bid and snatched him away.
Was that the shoot-out when heroic Steven Taylor took one when injured?
Correct and right. He was on one leg. Finished up something like 15-14 to Holland
