This player was maybe the best of the world besides Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the beginning of the last decade. He got a reputation of one of the best Dutch players ever, reaching the World Cup final in 2010 and winning UEFA Champions League with Inter in the same year.

But he also had a crazy lifestyle. He also loved to party and drink alcohol, something that caused him problems at Real Madrid. But he never stopped. He and his wife even partied with Megan Fox and George Clooney, the night before he had a Champions League match where he scored and assisted.

And in the last years of his career, Wesley Sneijder was the culprit of many scandals when he was drunk. After his retirement, the Dutch international gained a lot of weight. There were some rumours about a return to activity by playing for Utrecht, the club of his hometown, but that never happened.

Sneijder is the player with most appearances ever in Netherlands national team (134), and played for Ajax, Real Madrid, Inter, Galatasaray, Nice and Al-Gharafa. His football career led him to have a very intense life, and now he is trying to recover from the damage that it caused to him.
