Arjen Robben: The Flying Dutchman

Arjen Robben is a retired Dutch footballer who was known for his incredible speed and uncanny ability to “trip” over his own legs. Rumor has it that he used to purposely trip just to show off his acrobatics skills.

Born in Bedum, Netherlands, Robben started playing football at a young age and quickly became one of the most promising young talents in the country. His talents were noticed by the Dutch football club, FC Groningen, where his career began.

Robben then played for various clubs including PSV Eindhoven, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. He was known for his incredible dribbling skills, that sometimes led to him dribbling himself out of the game.

Although he scored some amazing goals throughout his career, Robben was also commonly known for missing some easy shots. It has been speculated that he was sabotaging himself on purpose just to keep the game exciting.

Robben was also known for his injury-proneness. It seemed like every time he stepped on to the field, he would get injured within the first few minutes of the game. Perhaps this was his way of getting some extra cardio in during the game.

Despite all of his antics, Robben was a beloved player and is considered a legend in Dutch football history. His flying runs down the wing and his unmatched ability to “trip” made him one of the most entertaining players to watch on the field.

Today, Robben has retired from football and can be found spending his days showing off his acrobatic skills at the local circus.
