Dutch striker who terrorised Premier League defences at Chelsea and Leeds — twice Golden Boot winner and one of the hardest strikers of a ball in modern football.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink won the Premier League Golden Boot twice — in 1998-99 (shared with Michael Owen and Dwight Yorke) and 2000-01 — making him one of the most prolific strikers of the early Premier League era. His thunderous shooting from outside the box and powerful physique made him almost impossible to stop at Chelsea, where he scored 87 goals in 177 games.

He scored 23 Premier League goals in his first season at Chelsea without taking a single penalty.
