SATURDAY FOOTBALLER: Rob Rensenbrink

Robert "Rob" Rensenbrink (born 3 July 1947) was a forward who played for the Dutch national team during the 1970's. He was nicknamed 'The Snakeman' and 'The Contortionist', probably due to his amazing dribbling skills and fantastic touch with the ball. He applied his trade mostly in Belgium for club R.S.C. Anderlecht, where he scored 143 goals in 262 appearances for the side.

Below is a video of Resenbrink's hat-trick agains Iran in World Cup 1978, two goals being penalties.
