Perhaps Roy Makaay’s striking brilliance was linked to the Scottish roots of the Dutchman’s surname, although admittedly the influence of guys like Frans Thijssen, who taught him to shoot with both feet, must also have played a part.

We discuss striking legends past and present: Gerd Müller, Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski. And I suggest that scoring a hat-trick for Deportivo de La Coruña in Munich didn’t exactly hurt Roy’s chances of Bayern signing him.
