ROY MAKAAY: The Big Interview with Graham Hunter
In the latest episode of The Big Interview, we speak to Golden Boot winner Roy Makaay, one of the most feared strikers of the late nineties and early noughties.
Perhaps his striking brilliance was linked to the Scottish roots of the Dutchman’s surname, although admittedly the influence of guys like Frans Thijssen, who taught him to shoot with both feet, must also have played a part. We discuss striking legends past and present: Gerd Müller, Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski.
There's also in-depth recollection of the Super Depor side coached by Javier Irureta and starring the incomparable Juan Carlos Valerón that Makaay led the line for. And we hear about Roy’s agony at Euro 2000 – an ankle injury meant he had to witness the Netherlands’ semi-final penalty-shootout defeat by Italy from a hospital ward.
Now a coach, Roy talks about taking Rangers to the Europa League Final with Giovanni van Bronckhorst and looks at Holland's chances at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
