Clarence Seedorf, regarded as one of the greatest of his period, dominated the football world with his extraordinary abilities and remarkable physical characteristics. He had a trophy collection that many were envious of, having played for several of the best clubs in Europe. This is Clarence Seedorf's story.
Seedorf was raised in the Netherlands but was born in Paramaribo, Suriname, on April 1, 1976.
At the age of six, he began playing football, and he showed off his amazing talent right away.He relocated to the Dutch powerhouse Ajax at an early age, and he quickly caused a stir there.
Seedorf made his Ajax debut against Groningen in 1992 at the age of just sixteen. Soon after, he would establish himself as a vital member of Louis van Gaal's (shown) Ajax squad. His first awards would arrive shortly after. In his first two seasons, Seedorf won the league and the Dutch Cup, but Ajax's next big win would surpass both of those achievements. The Amsterdam team made a major splash in Europe during the 1994–1995 season, defeating AC Milan in the Champions League final. Football in Europe and around the world was dominated by the young Seedorf. Seedorf made his first international move of his career in the summer of 1995 when he signed with the Italian team Sampdoria.
He joined with Real Madrid less than a year later, beginning the next chapter of his brilliant career there. The Dutch midfielder won multiple medals in the Spanish capital during his tenure, including the 1997–98 Champions League. Seedorf was a standout player during his first two seasons at Real Madrid, including a long-range strike against Atlético rivals. Seedorf's role in the Madrid team gradually diminished, and in January 2000, he moved to Inter Milan. As part of an exchange agreement with Francesco Coco, he made the delicate move to AC Milan in 2002 after failing to win any trophies with the Nerrazzuri. Seedorf would go on to make history at the San Siro in 2002–03, becoming the first player to win the Championship League with three teams.
But that only made up a small portion of his Milan accomplishments, which also included an Italian Cup, two Serie A championships, and another Champions League. Seedorf did not have a completely joyful stay in Milan, though. He was the target of racial taunts from Lazio supporters during a game at the end of March 2010, which resulted in a €15,000 punishment for the Rome team. After 10 years at Milan, Seedorf made the decision to move on to a new chapter in his career in 2012, joining Brazilian team Botafogo and adding a Carioca Campeonato championship to his collection. It was Seedorf's final accomplishment in his stellar club career before he retired in January 2014.
