    I had ACL reconstruction just 3 weeks ago and like the man says, the realisation that you've suddenly gone from very active (climber, mountaineer, cyclist, runner) to doing nothing is tough... and then finding out post-op that you still can't do much for 12 weeks until the graft is strong and ready... it's frustrating and hard to take but it's inspirational to see how our heroes share the same difficulties and how resilience gets them and us through.
    Hope to do a stadium tour in October and then watch a game from the Sir Kenny stand so I can witness in person his recovery and the benefits of resilience :)

    Best defender I have ever seen. And I know people throw things like that around about all the big players of the day.
    But with VVD it's absolutely true. He has absolutely everything. The way he calmly deals with every situation thrown his way and 99 times out of 100 comes out on top with class and elegance is an absolute joy to watch. I've watched him deal with 2 v 1 situations on several occasions and there's not a moment where you think he's not got it under control. That is amazing. Astounding. He's the only defender who I have consistently looked forward to watching in a game more than any striker or attacker. He is the best. Makes the game look ridiculously easy.

    The love and support for Virgil around the globe is something quite special. We are already being told we are not contenders this season but all reds fan know If we can have a fairly injury free season in defense, we have a great chance of lifting trophies with Virgil and co.

    A complete all rounder...
    He plays great football, is good at distributing Fifa games with motivational msgs, performed excellent by shaving off his hair and playing as one of Tuco's cousins in Breaking Bad. Nothing he can not do!! 😁

    È dura per un grande giocatore come lui,ci vuole forza mentale più che fisica,si riparte dalla forza mentale dicendo a se stesso "ce la devo fare" Virgil è un grande uomo oltre calciatore,CE LA FARÀ A TORNARE AI SUOI LIVELLI!!!FORZA E CORAGGIO!
