Netherlands shirt issued to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for the 1998 FIFA World Cup Finals in France. Oranje put in a memorable performance as they reached the third place match, only to lose 2:1 to World Cup sensation Croatia. Historic was also the battle against Brazil in the semi-finals, which the Dutch lost on penalties (4:2 for "Seleção"). The striker made appearances against Belgium and Mexico in the group stage, but in the company of stars such as Patrick Kluivert and Dennis Bergkamp his play time as the Dutch Nr.9 was significantly limited. The former striker of Chelsea, Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Boavista and Atletico Madrid earned 23 caps in total with the national shirt, in which he also scored 9 goals. Hasselbaink won the Portuguese Cup with Boavista in 1997 and was part of the legendary Middlesbrough squad that reached the 2006 UEFA Cup final.
