Marco van Basten doesn’t select Patrick Kluivert anymore for Oran,e but the 31 year old is still Oranje’s topscorer. The Lille striker scored 40 goals in the orange jersey.

And for the time being, Pat will remain the number one. The first to be able to beat Kluivert is the 31 year old Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Madrid striker has 30 goals and occupies the 6th place. Rafael van der Vaart is making his way into the top 25.
