Mark van Bommel goes out in perfect style

PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands legend Mark van Bommel likely played his last game on Sunday. He went out in style.

Mark van Bommel is finally hanging up his boots. One of the most tenacious defensive midfielders of his era, van Bommel added steel to the midfields of PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona, AC Milan and Bayern Munich, winning league titles with all four clubs while also starting in a World Cup final for the Netherlands. He’s best known for his crunching tackles, so it’s only fitting that he was sent off in the last game of his career.


I hope he continues crushing people in pub-league football for decades.
