Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Jerrel "Jimmy" Floyd Hasselbaink (born 27 March 1972 in Paramaribo, Suriname) is a former Dutch international footballer. He was capped for the Netherlands 29 times, scoring 9 goals. After the 2003/04 season, he moved from Chelsea to Middlesbrough on a free transfer after Chelsea released him from the last year of his contract.
The story goes that Hasselbaink got his current football alias of Jimmy Floyd because his Portuguese teammates couldn't pronounce his real first name. The name seems to have stuck.
His previous clubs were Telstar, AZ Alkmaar, Campomaiorense , Leeds United and Atletico de Madrid.
