Before the class of ’92’s award -winning moment, it was Ajax’s Academy of Total Football that produced the Mars Stal and a team of its own stars that conquered Europe.
Edwin van der Sar, twins Frank and Ronald de Boer, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids and Patrick Kluivert are all bursting on stage to start a stunning era for Dutch football.
Michael Traveler was another huge name and part of that group that lifted the Champions League trophy of 1995 and reached the final of the following year.
He then played with legends such as Robert Baggio, George Weah and Paolo Maldini in AC Milan for an incredible seven -year -old Stint Barcelona.
In addition to the Brazilian wizard riving, Bulgarian striker Hristo Stoitchkov and Pep Guardiola, traveler claimed two LaLiga crowns while they had reversed the Galacticos twice from Real Madrid.
Everything won with both Ajax And Barca, he looked to achieve the same when he surprisingly decided to leave the camp for the ambitious Middlesbrough of Steve McClaren.
Although his short trip in the Premier League did not last long, and after just six months he was back home with PSV.
While injuries began to take their toll, he signed his play career by adding another Eredivisie title to his collection before hunging his boots in 2007.
It was a gaming career and CV that everyone would have been proud of, just like the rest of that large and fiery Dutch side, their inability to deliver silverware for their nation still hurts.
And it is those failures that the flames feed deep in the now Holland Under -21 -Baas to hopefully start another Dutch revolution -starting by winning the European Championship in Slovakia.

Traveler, the three tournament semi-final defeats with Holland Leed, said: “We missed that special cup.
“After three semi -final you hope you play the final and make it happen [expectation]. We have lost for our generation.
“Now we have some good players and we get better with every game.”
To achieve that, tonight he must first overthrow the England holders in Bratislava to seal a date with Destiny in the final of Saturday.
He acknowledges that that will not be an easy task – and he is certainly no stranger to the opposite song Lee Carsley.
The two head coaches actually collided on the field during the short time of the Dutchman in the Premier League.
That was back on January 16 in 2005, when Carsley Everton helped to come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at the Riverside in a stormy match that was marred by a huge goal that exploded after a late challenge by Duncan Ferguson on Boro Keeper Mark Schawarzer.
The traveler claims that he cannot remember the game, but Carsley, who was refused by the woodwork that day.
He said: “I can’t remember it was a classic. We always had tough games against Middlesbrough.
“Michael was a top player. Look at his CV, Barcelona, AC Milan, Ajax, he has been there and has done it. A Champions League player and a coach that I have a lot of respect.
