	MARCO VAN BASTEN - International Football Hall of Fame
		Van Basten was only third-choice striker in the squad, but he scored five goals in the tournament and returned home as his country's greatest hero.
		Van Basten spent two years trying to overcome his injuries but in the end he had to face the inevitable, announcing his retirement in August 1995.
		Unsurprisingly, van Basten has led calls to clean up the game, advancing the view that football should adopt the basketball rule of personal fouls which, after a player has committed five, means he is substituted, even if none of those fouls was bad enough to earn a caution.
