Editor's Take:

Robin van Persie had one of the sweetest left feet in football. At Arsenal he grew from a talented but injury-prone youngster into the league's best striker. His move to Manchester United angered Arsenal fans. It also delivered the title in his first season. His volleys and long-range strikes were often spectacular. He later moved into coaching. He now manages Feyenoord, the club where he started. His goals made him a hero in two countries.
