It Ain’t Over(mars) Till the Fat Lady Sings

Regulars to this site will probably tell you that it’s not very often that we are kind towards Arsenal or any of their associates. There’s the odd player over the years that slips through the net though. That is to say that for every undeniable prick like Freddie Ljundberg, there is class act like Thierry Henry that transcends the ‘Arsenal-ness’ of the rest of the team and manages to be almost likeable. The above man is another example of this, and simply one of the most impressive players of our generation; Dutch winger, Marc Overmars. So why the impromptu bukkake? Well the former Arsenal, Ajax and Barcelona is this week set to miraculously return to professional football, after retiring back in 2004 due to a persistent knee injury.

He is currently the general manager of his formative club, the fantastically-named Dutch second division outfit Go Ahead Eagles(!) however, with the club finishing a disappointing 10th last season, Overmars has vowed to return to action in order to help the club push for promotion. He told the club's official website over the weekend: “I am doing it for Go Ahead. This will help the club move forward. Of course I will find it fun to play again too.”

The 35-year-old apparently impressed during a recent testimonial for former Holland star and professional Easter Island statue Jaap Stam, and is confident he can still perform to his best. He modestly added: “I was surprised that things went so well during the Jaap Stam match, and that I still had the speed. I stopped playing four years ago and train just once a week, but a lot can happen on will power alone. I hope to pass that on to the team.”
