an Kromkamp factfile
1980: Born 17 August, in Makkinga, Holland.

18 August - Makes international debut for Holland, coming off bench after 70 minutes in a 2-2 friendly draw away to Sweden. Starts next seven games for Dutch at right-back.
2005: AZ's improvement continues and they take third place in the Eredivisie. Kromkamp's form at right-back had been so impressive that Valencia were hotly tipped to sign him, while Porto were also reported to be keen. However, Villarreal pounced and he joined the Spanish side in August, helping them knock Everton out of the Champions League later that month.
29 December - Villarreal announce agreement with Liverpool for exchange deal involving Kromkamp and Reds full-back Josemi. Kromkamp had been a regular in Europe but played just six league games for the Spanish side before the winter break.
