Along the way, many people tried to drag van Bommel down, attacking his craft, bemoaning his character and questioning his motives. Mark was branded a thug, a vigilante, a lumbering football Neanderthal capable only of grinding opponents into dust and influencing referees. The mainstream exaggerated and distorted his methodology so much that, now, ...
To play professional football at an elite level was always the dream. Mark was born on 22ndApril 1977 in Maasbracht, a small town nestled in the Netherlands’ southernmost quadrant, straddling the border with Belgium. The van Bommel household was equidistant from Eindhoven in the north, Genk in the east and Mönchengladbach in the west, a true hotbed...
Fortuna Sittard, about to embark on a true halcyon period, didn’t offer the most substantive financial package either, but by promising to devote special attention to Mark’s physical, emotional and technical development, the club showcased a greater grasp of pastoral duties than any other competitor. With encouragement from his family, Mark, then j...
Eric Gerets was particularly enamoured of the 22-year old juggernaut. The taciturn Belgian was appointed PSV boss in July 1999, and van Bommel seemed just the kind of player he would be inclined to buy. A fearsome leader, Mark played football the right way, the honest way, the Eric Gerets Way. Naturally, he became the coach’s second summer signing,...
The subsequent loss of van Nistelrooy to Manchester United, coupled with a greater focus on European competition, saw PSV struggle somewhat in 2001-02. After again winning the Cruyff Shield, Gerets’ men were trumped by Ajax in the league. However, the aforementioned desire to compete in Europe - a recurring feature throughout PSV history - afforded...
Nevertheless, van Bommel was soon granted his international debut by Oranje coach Louis van Gaal in a 4-0 World Cup 2002 qualification victory over Cyprus. Even as Mark became a more prominent feature in an injury-ravaged Dutch squad, scoring against Andorra, England and Estonia, the team continued to struggle for traction in a group eventually won...
In a season littered with stupendous moments and brilliant games, one stands out above all else. It was 20th March 2005. Ajax versus PSV in Amsterdam. A win for Hiddink’s charges would virtually secure the league title and, as they were wont to do, the club’s two cultured veterans rose to the occasion. Cocu opened the scoring with a prodigious divi...
That fairy-tale season culminated in unbearable anguish, however. Despite claiming another domestic title, PSV fell to AC Milan in a Champions League semi-final for the ages. Down 2-0 from the first leg, PSV came roaring back before a vociferous Eindhoven crowd. Park slammed home an early goal before Cocu equalised on sixty-five minutes. The team w...
Frank Rijkaard, ever eager to surround himself with fellow countrymen, signed van Bommel on a free transfer to bolster his title-winning Barcelona side and imbue into his eclectic squad a splash of seasoned European expertise. Mark joined a different Barcelona to the one so lauded today. Different in style and substance, if not results. In recent t...
Shortly after the World Cup’s conclusion, Uli Hoeneß, president of Bayern Munich, rather surprisingly announced the €6 million signing of van Bommel, cutting short the Dutchman’s La Liga stay and prompting the next major chapter in his eclectic career. In 2006-07, the Bavarian giants struggled for the direction and formidable consistency that tradi...
Jul 25, 2018 · Following the appointment of his former Fortuna coach and father-in-law Bert van Marwijk, Van Bommel declared himself available for Oranje duty again. He impressed on his return in a friendly with Russia, adding much-needed steel to demonstrate what they’d been missing at that summer’s tournament.
