Some of the greatest players in history have played for Netherlands, but only so many can make our all-time Dutch XI..
One of the most revered national teams in the world, Netherlands have produced some of the greatest footballers of all time.
Superstars such as Johan Cruyff and Marco van Basten are evergreen legends of the game, while someone like Arjen Robben achieved huge success at an international level In the modern day.
The Dutch are widely regarded as one of the most unluckiest international teams around in the game, having appeared in three World Cup finals, but without ever lifting the coveted trophy.
They did once enjoy success at a European level, however, as they beat USSR 2-0 in the final of Euro 1988.
Today, it's time to take a look at which players make it into their all-time best XI!

A true Ajax legend, Van der Sar made his international debut in June 1995 against Belarus and was in goal for their successive eliminations from major competitions on penalties at Euro 1996, the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000.
He then finally turned into his side's hero in a penalty series in 2004 when he kept out Olof Mellberg's spot kick to send Oranje through to the semi-finals.
The shot stopper retired from international football after Euro 2008, but made a brief return during the qualification for the 2010 World Cup when the Dutch faced a goalkeeping crisis.
Throughout his Netherlands career, Van der Sar made 130 appearances and was their most capped player until Wesley Sneijder surpassed him in 2017.
There's no denying that the likes of Hans van Breukelen and Jan van Beveren were fine shot stoppers, too, but there's no seeing past Van der Sar here.

Suurbier featured as the Dutch's first-choice right-back between 1966 and 1978 and was an Ajax legend at club level.
He made 60 appearances for the national team, scoring three goals in the process.
The defender was an important part of the Netherlands sides that made the final at the 1974 and 1978 World Cups, which they both ended up losing.
He was also part of the team that finished third place in the Euro 1976.
Michael Reiziger and Berry van Aerle were other strong candidates for the right-back spot, but Suurbier's achievements in the 1970s eventually saw him narrowly edge it.

The Dutch have had some superb centre-backs, but it's hard to deny Koeman a spot in this XI as one of the greatest goal scoring defenders of all time.
Koeman started his club career at Groningen, but moved to Ajax after three years at the club.
He made his debut for the national team in a 3-0 friendly loss to Sweden in April 1983 and scored his first international goal in September in the same year in a 3-0 win against Iceland.
Arguably his finest moment came at Euro 1988 in West Germany, where they defeated the hosts in the semi-final with Koeman scoring a penalty.
In the final, Netherlands defeated the USSR 2-0 to win their only major international trophy.
Koeman went on to represent his country at the 1990 and 1994 World Cups as well as Euro 1992.

Picking Koeman's partner at the back was not an easy choice, with the likes of Arie Haan, Jaap Stam and Frank de Boer all having a case to be made for them.
But we had to go with Frank Rijkaard in the end, who made most of his appearances for Netherlands at the back.
The Milan legend made his debut for Oranje in 1981 and was part of the Dutch side that won Euro 1988 playing alongside Ronald Koeman at centre-back.
Rijkaard made 73 appearances for Netherlands, scoring 10 goals and coming up with some memorable performances.
