In an age where footballers are trying to get as much money as possible to buy that new "merc" to go with the 5 others they have, and all the WAGS trying to outdo each other by showing who has the best hair-do and biggest breasts, Dirk and Gertrude Kuyt stand alone as the classiest.

bumped as yet again... kuyt displays his love for the club:

from lfc.tv:

KUYT KEEN FOR LONG KOP STAY

Dirk Kuyt may have only been a Liverpool player for five months - but already he has designs on remaining a red for the rest of his playing career.
Kuyt has settled comfortably into Premiership life since his summer switch from Feyenoord and already has eight goals to his name after an impressive first half to his debut season.

The 26 year old Dutchman knows football can be an unpredictable business, but so happy is he with his new club and the fans who have given him such a warm welcome to Anfield, he's already planning for a long career on Merseyside.

"You never know what is going to happen in football but it would be perfect if I could stay here for a long, long time," he told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"I'm really happy here and I'm not the kind of player who wants to move to a new club every two years. I'm at the best club in England and one of the biggest in the world so why would I want anything else?

"It's also great for me that I have such a good relationship with the supporters. The respect we have for each other means a lot.

"Everyone inside the club has tried to help me and the fans have been fantastic. The people near to where I live have made it easy for me and my family to settle in a new country and so I'd like to thank everybody for making my early months here so enjoyable."

it seems he's fallen in love with us.... and hey - who'd blame him, eh?

such a rare type of footballer, so fantastically generous with a great attitude on and off the pitch. Such a fantastic guy.

There was a great article in the C mag this week about him and his charity work, its mind blowing to see such fantastic generosity in a sport filled with ashley Coles and Rio Ferdinands who never seem to be happy unless they are earning stupid stupid money.

Dirk Kuyt has been and inspiration scince he arrived in the summer, he has put nothing less than 110% into every match he has played, he has also shown he is completely unselfish when it comes to his ability to provide the goals as well as create chances for himself. I think Kuyt could be hot candidate for player of the season, for LFC that is.
