Henk Timmer is a competent second choice goalkeeper but is far from challenging Edwin van der Sar for the number one jersey.

The 34-year-old has featured regularly in Holland's friendly matches just in case Marco van Basten is forced to throw him into World Cup action.

Timmer is a sound stopper who has settled at AZ Alkmaar following unhappy spells at Ajax and Feyenoord.

Known for his razor-sharp reactions, Timmer is also a commanding and vocal figure in the penalty area.
