Robin van Persie was born on 6 August 1983. He is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a striker for super lig club Fenerbahce and the Netherlands national team. He is recognized as one of the best strikers of his generation. At the age of 16 a series of disagreements with the Excelsior coaching staff led to a move to Feyenoord. He made his senior debut during the 2001–02 season which culminated with victory in the 2002 UEFA Cup Final.
After representing the Netherlands at under-17 under-19 and under-21 level Van Persie made his senior international debut in 2005 in a friendly match against Romania. A month later he scored his first senior international goal in a 4–0 win over Finland. Van Persie has over 100 caps and has scored 50 goals for the Netherlands making him their top scorer of all time.
He scored as a 55th-minute substitute in a 4–1 Group C victory over 2006 World Cup finalists France and started the next match against Romania scoring off a pass from Demy de Zeeuw with an excellent volley into the back of the net. He finished with two goals as the Netherlands finished atop their group but again suffered a first knock-out round, second stage elimination.
