Prosecutors have heard how one of Holland's most decorated footballers was held up at gunpoint by a player who wanted a contract at Royal Antwerp FC.
Mark van Bommel, 46, won 79 caps for his country and played in their last World Cup final appearance in 2010. During his career, the midfielder also won eight league titles across stints in Holland, Spain, and Germany, also famously lifting the Champions League title with Barcelona in 2006.
Since 2022, he's been in charge at Antwerp, winning the Belgian Cup with the outfit this season. But back in October last year, he was approached in a car park by a 25-year-old gunman.
