Recall his total average-ness, absence of any redeeming features & sickening goal-hanging 3 yard hat trick (if you must) here.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Rather not.
I'm not surprised, awesome last game.
That was infuriating.
I'm going to spoil your thread here. A player with a very good club/national team career with a fitting end at Feyenoord the club he loved. He got my respect.
Tragic loss for the sport.
Dirk Kuyt is someone to be. His work rate, mental strength, composure, professionalism, ability to rise to the big occasions, was incredible.
Terrible footballer.
Perennial overachiever, fair play to him. Solid career.
Made the most and more of his limited ability. Very good career
Some great posts here, mainly renowned for always giving a 110% obviously. Little bit harshly booked for this one.
Seconded.
I used to know a Liverpool fan whose favourite player was Dirk Kuyt. I'm still mystified as to how that happened.
I was in the away end when he scored that hat trick. Dirk Kunt.
Legend of the game
Actually played in a Champions League final and a World Cup final.

Great career for a player not blessed with much innate talent. Fair play to him. Like a shit Park Ji-Sung.
Always thought he was a bit underrated here. Not the flashiest player but you don't earn 104 caps for the Netherlands if you're shit (during one of their stronger generations too). Tremendous work ethic too, as others have said.
If he says he'll retire, I don't know why I wouldn't believe him. 
He's an inspiration for mediocre pricks like us. If he could make it, everyone can.
Yup! Admire players like him.
Had a pretty good career to be fair to him. Lingard is miles below his level, in all honesty and yet everyone says Kuyt is shite....
He can look back on a very good career.
Kind of reminds me of Park: was bought with a great goal scoring record and I expected him to be a goal scoring centre forward for Liverpool. That didn't quite work out for him but he found a niche in the team through hard work and his energy levels and became a valuable player.
I thought we were signing a skilful goal scoring winger when we signed Park (admittedly after watching him against AC in the CL) again, that never happened but Park turned out to be one hell of a player / squad player for us.

Is the title supposed to say remember?
The least entertaining left wing back of all time, partly responsible for the worst game of football ever played at a world cup (Netherlands vs Costa Rica 2014).
Heyyy yoooou guuuuuys!
Useful as a squad player for us next season?
He was many people's favourite player.
Besides the obvious workrate, commitment and steely temperament, he was a dead clever player with really good decisionmaking. He knew the footballing manual inside out. Sort of had to to make it at this level given his natural ability and all, but still.
If he had either pace or technique, he would have been brilliant.
Yeah I wouldn't believe a player either if he announces retirement. I mean, what kind of source is that?
Ugly cnut
Kuyt is Lingard but with end product and a bit of talent on the ball. He won't get much respect on a United forum for obvious reasons, but he's exactly the quality of squad player we should be aiming for.
Got the most out of his limited skill set did Fraggle Rock.
If youre a top team hes exactly the type of player you want in the squad. Not expensive signings who dont try. Fabulous work rate and his knack for performing in the big games/decision making was exceptional.
Great career, made the most of the talent he had. Enjoy retirement Dirk.

You're not allowed to say sensible things here okay?
Suppose it's the same as someone whose favorite was Park. People like grafters.
Managers must love players like Kuyt - tactically disciplined and work their backsides off. Back in 2008 we could sneer at him as a workhorse but, when we have Lingard as a regular starter....
But, as we are discussing a Liverpool player on a United form, I'll finish by pointing out that he does look like that ogre from The Goonies.
