Peter was also a player that Ajax had originally signed for £2 million from PSV to replace the Arsenal bound Marc Overmars.

Hoekstra himself stepped up to take the kick and completed a stunning hat-trick by chipping the ball into the top of the net, as the keeper dived full length to his left.

By 2001 Peter had become surplus to requirements in Holland and his Agent (who at the time was setting up a trial for another one of his players with Stoke City) put Peter in touch with the Potters after Stoke admitted they were looking for a left sided winger for the new season...
Peter began his Stoke career on the left wing of a 4-4-2 system and showed some impressive, but sporadic pieces of genius in matches as he began to settle into the side.
Peter Hoekstra is an effective presence on the left wing, but arguably his best position appears to be floating behind the attack in a free role.

Hoekstra said the panel moved from hearing about the damaging impact of leaks to "why we are not prosecuting and why we are not finding the leakers."

 Leaks of Classified Data Called Damaging and Widespread
Some people, Hoekstra said, "seemingly leak just because they can.  These are the people, and especially those that have access to classified information, that we need to worry about."
· Hoekstra pointed to the classified annex of the Silberman-Robb Report on Weapons of Mass Destruction as providing numerous cases over several years that caused harm by the exposure of intelligence assets, methods and capabilities, though he said he was not at liberty to discuss them at the public forum.
Hoekstra’s proposed solution is for the U.S. intelligence community to embrace a culture that has zero tolerance for leakers.  "People entrusted with a security clearance must realize their clearance is not a right, it is a privilege, and it must be treated as such," he said.
