Jimmy scored many goals for Boavista and Leeds United, where he became Premier League topscorer of 1999. That made Atletico Madrid deside to buy striker. He costed about $18,000,000, but he just might be worth the money. Hasselbaink became a international too, but he din't do so well. Kluivert/Bergkamp/Van Nistelrooij are the first/second choice and then comes Hasselbaink, Van Hooijdonk and Makaay is competing aswell. "I didn't expect this," said Hasselbaink after knowing that he was dropped from the Euro 2000 Dutch squad. A crazy career for someone who was unemployed in few years ago in 1994! Not even a 1st division clubs in Holland and Portugal wanted him. His first three years were indeed not very spectactuar, but ever since Campomaiorense he is there at the top. His 26 goals for Atletico this season were not enough to save them from relegation from the Spanish first division.
