Ajax

Lille player Kluivert was part of Ajax's Golden Generation of the 90s. He joined Ajax youth academy after he was spotted playing for Schellingwoude, a football club in the northern suburbs of Amsterdam. He made his debut in the senior team of Ajax on August 21, 1994 at the age of 18 in the Dutch Supercup win against the old arch rival Feyenoord in which he scored his first goal. The 1994/95 season saw Kluivert make his mark -- along a host of youngsters from the Ajax youth academy including Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, and Edwin Van der Sar -- on the European stage with a triumph in the UEFA Champions League. Kluivert came off the bench to score an 85th minute winner in the 1994/95 Champions League Final against AC Milan in Vienna. He soon became Ajax's 'Golden Boy' of the mid-90s, leading the Ajax front-line as the side claimed several pieces of silverware during that period.

A.C. Milan

His career at A.C. Milan started well when he scored a sensational goal against Juventus in a friendly match. However at this time Kluivert's personal life began to cause problems. He was charged with manslaughter following his involvement in a fatal car accident, to which he received community service and a driving ban. He was also charged with rape on a separate occasion, but he was to be later acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

PSV

Despite widespread rumours that Kluivert was to return home to Ajax, Kluivert's return to the Eredivisie was to be with PSV Eindhoven, with whom he signed a one-year deal in 2006. Just as with his debut for Ajax, Kluivert made his PSV debut against Feyenoord (2-1 win), coming on as a substitute. Since then, he has had two injuries during the first half of the season, which has limited his playing time.

At the 1998 FIFA World Cup he was sent off against Belgium by referee Pierluigi Collina after elbowing Lorenzo Staelens. He made amends when selected to play against Argentina in the quarter-finals of the same tournament where he scored the opening goal. He also impressed in later matches, scoring a late equalizing goal from a header to draw his team level with Brazil in the semi-final, though the latter prevailed in the penalty shootout.

Kluivert was left out of the 2006 World Cup squad by coach Marco van Basten. In fact, Kluivert was not called up to play in any of the qualifying games leading up to the World Cup. This was partly due to the fact that he suffered persistent injuries which prevented him from playing for his club during the 05-06 season. Marcel (Marco) van Basten (October 31, 1964 in Oog in Al, Utrecht) is a Dutch football manager, currently in charge of the Dutch national team. ...

The international career of Patrick Kluivert seems all but over now that Marco van Basten will continue to be the national team coach until Euro 2008.
