BIOGRAPHY Van der Vaart was born in Heemskerk in 1983 and joined Ajax at the age of ten. Scored seven goals in 27 first-team appearances in his first full season, 2000/01, after replacing the veteran Richard Witschge. The next year his ratio was even better: 14 in 20, as Ajax won the Eredivisie and Dutch Cup.
The downside to his blossoming career came when he sustained a serious knee injury against RKC Waalwijk requiring surgery in February 2002. Van der Vaart had two more injuries in the 2002/03 season, but still had time to net 18 goals in 21 games. In February 2003 he signed a new, improved deal. 2003/04: Dazzled once again as Ajax won back the Eredivisie crown from PSV, scoring seven times in 24 league outings. View GALLERY:
