I tried to stay outside of the EPL, so for instance, Rooney, wasn't included.
Jefferson Farfán, PSV Eindhoven
The 22-year-old Peruvian striker Jefferson Farfán has quite an impressive goal-scoring record at
PSV Eindhoven with 70 goals in 126 total appearances and with the losses of Alex, Cocu, and Arouna
Koné, he's going to have to continue that form if defending champion PSV is going to contend in
the Eredivisie this year.
Eddy Hamel's life story is one of triumph that ultimately ended in tragedy. Born in New York in
1902, he moved to Holland at some point during his teenage years. Not much is known about him until
he emerged as a left winger for Ajax in 1922. Amazingly enough though, he was the first player of
Jewish descent to play for a club that was feverishly followed by the large, thriving Jewish
community of Amsterdam.
In an endearing piece in the Daily Mail today, summer acquisition and winger extraordinaire, Ryan
Babel, has revealed that he owes a great deal of gratitude to Rafa Benitez for his tremendous start
with the club.
Apparently when Babel was at Ajax, he would let outside interference (a.k.a the crowd) affect his
play, so much so that he would become 'depressed on the pitch'.
