Wesley Sneijder is one of Holland's brightest prospects and already has experience of one major tournament behind him.

A product of the Ajax youth system, Sneijder made his international debut against Portugal in April 2003, aged just 18. Just one season later, after being instrumental in Ajax's Eredivisie title success, he was named in the Dutch squad for Euro 2004.

Although he was a peripheral figure, he has steadily grown into a top class midfielder who is certain to play a significant part in Marco van Basten's plans.

He played in seven of Holland's qualifying games and scored two goals along the way while also helping his club reach the last 16 of the Champions League.

Sneijder's not so secret weapon is his deadly free-kicks but he's also strong on the ball despite his slight stature.
