Ruud van Nisetelrooy is arguably the deadliest striker currently in world football - there is not a better man from 12-yards out.
When he left Manchester United, many thought it was another shrewd move by Sir Alex Ferguson - getting rid at the right time - but that is far from the case.
53 goals in two seasons with Real Madrid show just how well he has adapted to life in La Liga.
His international record is just as good with a goal every other game for Holland from his near 60 caps.
If van Nistelrooy hits form in Austria and Switzerland - that could be enough to take Oranje to victory, he is that good.
You could not wish for more British interest in the Dutch camp with eight of the squad currently plying their trade in Britain.
Edwin van der Sar, Wilfred Bouma, Andre Ooijer, Mario Melchiot, Ryan Babel and Dirk Kuyt all play week-in, week-out in the Premier League - whilst there is also Scottish interest in Celtic's Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.
Khalid Boulahrouz is also technically an English-based player with Chelsea - but he has spent the last year on loan at Sevilla and does not appear to have a future at Stamford Bridge.
But there is also significant British interest in another handful of Dutch player who have previously played here. None more so that ex-Manchester United front-man Ruud van Nistelrooy - who is still very hard thought of by the Old Trafford faithful.
Also there is former Rangers and Arsenal man Giovanni van Bronckhorst, ex-Chelsea flyer Arjen Robben and one-time Wigan midfielder Denny Landzaat.
