🎥 Get your popcorn and watch the best of Arjen Robben on his birthday 🍿

There are only a few guarantees in life. Death, taxes, and Arjen Robben cutting in on his left foot.

Born on this day in Bedum, Netherlands, the 41-year-old former Dutch star was one of Europe's most-vaunted attacking players across a career that spanned two decades.

From hometown hero with Groningen, a rising star at PSV Eindhoven, and an unquestionable world-class talent with Bayern Munich in the wake of stints with Chelsea and Real Madrid, Robben had it all.

You know you dominate a football pitch when the opposition knows what is coming and they still cannot stop you, and while Robben was so much more than his favorite sequence, it became iconic nonetheless.
