My Take
I have a soft spot for the towering target man, and Wim Kieft fits that mold beautifully. At 190 cm with heading as his signature weapon, he turned an old-school skill into a career across Ajax and PSV, then tested himself in Italy and France, which I respect because going abroad demands grit as much as goals. What I find most telling is his move into punditry afterward; a striker who has actually lived the moments tends to read the game with a credibility studio voices often lack. The Amsterdam-born finisher feels like a genuine craftsman to me.
