Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

Hasselbaink was born on 27 March 1972 in Paramaribo, Suriname (then part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands), to Frank Ware and Cornelli Hasselbaink; he was the youngest of six children.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=1}} At the age of three in 1975, Hasselbaink was run over by a moped, which broke his right leg.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=2}} In October 1978, his mother took him and three siblings to live in Zaandam, Netherlands; his father remained in Suriname and rarely contacted the family.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=8}} The next year Hasselbaink began playing youth football for Gestaagt Volharding Overwint (GVO), initially as a goalkeeper.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=13}} He later played for Zaansche Football club (ZFC) and Zaanlandia as a right winger.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=19}} He joined a street gang as a teenager and spent three months in a youth detention facility for stealing.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=31}} After his release, he joined the youth team at DWS, but he was dismissed from the club for stealing the watch of a first-team player.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=49}} He began his senior career with Telstar, while still a gang member, and had disciplinary issues at the club due to his persistent lateness.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=39}} He made his Eerste Divisie debut on 27 October 1990, in a 2–0 defeat at VVV-Venlo.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=44}} Head coach Niels Overweg dismissed him after he turned up late to a match.

He began training with AZ Alkmaar, where his brother Carlos was playing and impressed enough to win a professional contract. However, Head coach Henk Wullems opted not to renew his contract in 1993, despite Hasselbaink making 46 appearances for the club.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=45}} He had an unsuccessful trial with FC Eindhoven, and after failing to agree terms with PEC Zwolle he instead spent the 1993–94 season training with HFC Haarlem.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=55}} He then played amateur football for Neerlandia whilst he looked abroad for a professional contract, spending time in Austria with Admira Wacker.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=56}}

Hasselbaink signed for newly promoted Portuguese Primeira Divisão side Campomaiorense in August 1995 after impressing trainer Manuel Fernandes on a trial.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=51}} The chairman wanted to keep his signing a secret and so told the press that he had signed a player called "Jimmy", but after his signing was revealed the name stuck and he was known as Jimmy rather than Jerrel for the rest of his career.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=58}} He failed to score in his first four games and missed a penalty in his fifth game after insisting on taking the penalty ahead of regular taker Stanimir Stoilov, however, he made amends for the miss later in the game by scoring both goals in a 2–0 win over Gil Vicente. The small club could not survive in the top flight and were relegated in the 1995–96 season.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=59}}

Hasselbaink was signed by Boavista for a €300,000 fee in summer 1996. The 1996–97 season was chaotic for the club, as the chairman dismissed two managers, Zoran Filipović and João Alves, before ending the campaign with Rui Casaca.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=67}} As a result, the "Panthers" only managed a seventh-place finish, but they ended the campaign on a high note by winning the Taça de Portugal. Hasselbaink had a good season individually, finishing as the league's second-highest scorer behind Porto's Mário Jardel.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=68}} He scored his first professional hat-trick at the club in a 3–1 victory over Marítimo at the Estádio do Bessa; he later scored a hat-trick in a 7–0 win over Gil Vicente, as did teammate Nuno Gomes.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=71}} Though head coach Casaca left Hasselbaink on the bench due to his arranged transfer to Leeds, Hasselbaink entered the final of the Taça de Portugal as a late substitute for Erwin Sánchez as Boavista held on to a 3–2 win over Benfica.

Leeds United manager George Graham signed Hasselbaink in the summer of 1997 for a fee of £2 million.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=74}} He scored on his Premier League debut in a 1–1 draw with Arsenal at Elland Road on 9 August, though initially he struggled to adapt to the pace of the English game.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=82}} He scored only five league goals before Christmas but ended the campaign with 26 goals in all competitions following a strong second half of the season.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=85}}

The following season, Hasselbaink's 18 goals in 36 appearances made him joint-winner (with Michael Owen and Dwight Yorke) of the Premier League Golden Boot as Leeds finished fourth in the league under the stewardship of new manager David O'Leary, thus winning the "Whites" a place in the UEFA Cup.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=92}} However, he and his agent were dissatisfied with the contract offered by the club, and though he still had two years to run on his existing deal he was sold on.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=93}} O'Leary claimed: "What he is looking for I don't think any club in the country could afford and I don't think there is anyone on that kind of money over here [in England]".{{cite news |title=Hasselbaink demands transfer |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/407038.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 July 1999 |access-date=29 March 2013}}

Hasselbaink was bought by Spanish club Atlético Madrid for £10 million in the middle of 1999.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=94}} The "Red-and-Whites" lost the first three La Liga games of the 1999–2000 season, but after Hasselbaink scored his first goal for the club to secure a point at Real Zaragoza he continued to score important goals for the club.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=135}} On 30 October, he scored twice in the Madrid Derby as Atlético beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium for the first time in nine years.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=134}} He also scored against Barcelona at Camp Nou, in a 2–1 league defeat.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=138}} Manager Claudio Ranieri aimed to qualify for the Champions League but resigned in February following poor results.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=140}} Despite this, Hasselbaink shared the league's Silver Boot award with Catanha (Málaga CF), scoring only three goals fewer than top-scorer Salva Ballesta (Racing de Santander).{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=141}} Atlético reached the final of the Copa del Rey at the Mestalla Stadium but lost 2–1 to Espanyol; Hasselbaink scored a late consolation goal. The club's league form did not improve following Ranieri's departure, and his successor Radomir Antić failed to prevent the club from being relegated to the Segunda División. A relegation clause in his four-year contract allowed Hasselbaink to leave the club in the summer.

Hasselbaink returned to the Premier League in May 2000, when he was signed by Chelsea for a club record fee of £15 million, which matched the then-transfer record for an English club; he signed a four-year contract.{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/euro2000/teams/holland/770936.stm | publisher=BBC Sport | title=Chelsea seal £15m Hasselbaink deal | date=31 May 2000|access-date=15 April 2015}} He scored on his "Blues" debut, helping them to win the 2000 FA Charity Shield with a 2–0 win over Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.{{cite news|title=Keane sees red as Chelsea triumph|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/879061.stm|access-date=21 April 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=13 August 2000}} Manager Gianluca Vialli was dismissed in September, and Hasselbaink's former Madrid boss Claudio Ranieri was appointed as his replacement.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=151}} Hasselbaink later stated he was "dismayed" at Vialli's dismissal and that the players hated Ranieri and fitness coach Roberto Sassi's running-focused training methods.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=165}} Despite this, Hasselbaink scored 23 goals in 35 league appearances in the 2000–01 season, including four goals in a 6–1 win against Coventry City on 21 October;{{cite news|last1=Barnes|first1=Stuart|title=Chelsea banish blues|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/Observer_Match_Report/0,,-31038,00.html|access-date=9 December 2014|newspaper=The Observer|location=London|date=22 October 2014}} he finished the season as the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot.

At the start of the 2001–02 season, Hasselbaink earned the distinction of scoring the first competitive goal at Southampton's new St Mary's Stadium as Chelsea won 2–0 on 25 August.{{cite news|last1=White|first1=Clive|title=Two-goal Chelsea help spoil the party|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/3011466/Two-goal-Chelsea-help-spoil-the-party.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/3011466/Two-goal-Chelsea-help-spoil-the-party.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=19 April 2015|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|location=London|date=25 August 2001}}{{cbignore}} On 13 March, he scored a hat-trick as Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4–0.{{cite news|title=Chelsea thrash Spurs|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1862266.stm|access-date=9 December 2014|publisher=BBC Sport|date=13 March 2002}} He formed both a good friendship and a productive partnership with Icelandic striker Eiður Guðjohnsen, scoring 29 goals in all competitions whilst Guðjohnsen scored 23 goals in a season which also saw Chelsea reach the FA Cup final after overcoming Norwich City, West Ham United, Preston North End, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fulham.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=172}} Hasselbaink was a doubt for the final due to a hamstring injury, and was substituted on 68 minutes at the Millennium Stadium as Chelsea lost 2–0 to rivals Arsenal.{{cite news|title=Arsenal lift FA Cup|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1959840.stm|access-date=9 December 2014|publisher=BBC Sport|date=16 February 2003}} His total of 23 league goals was one fewer than Golden Boot winner Thierry Henry.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=170}}

In the summer of 2002, the cause of his hamstring injury was discovered, and he underwent an operation to relieve a blockage in the arteries of his right leg, which had been severely restricting circulation.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=182}} During his recovery, he appeared as a pundit for ITV's coverage of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Ranieri initiated a squad rotation system for the 2002–03 season but focused the team around Gianfranco Zola, which limited Hasselbaink's playing time.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=184}} Barcelona manager Louis van Gaal agreed an £8 million transfer for Hasselbaink in the January transfer window after months of negotiations but was dismissed before the transfer went through and the deal subsequently collapsed.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=186}}{{cite news|title=Barca interest Hasselbaink|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/2209753.stm|access-date=19 April 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=22 August 2002}}{{cite news|title=Hasselbaink tipped for Barca switch|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/2647973.stm|access-date=19 April 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=11 January 2003}}{{cite news|last1=Obayiuwana|first1=Osasu|title=Barca rule out signings|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/2660739.stm|access-date=19 April 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=20 January 2003}} Though the attack was focused on Zola throughout the season, Hasselbaink managed to score 15 goals in 44 games, only one goal fewer than Zola.{{cite web|title=Chelsea statistics 2002/03|url=http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=536&teamTabs=stats|work=Soccerbase|publisher=Centurycomm|access-date=21 April 2015}}

In the 2003–04 season, he scored 17 goals in all competitions, which, despite the arrival of new strikers Adrian Mutu and Hernán Crespo, made him top-scorer at the club for the third time in four years. On 27 March, his 32nd birthday, Hasselbaink came on as a 60th-minute substitute for Geremi and scored a hat-trick as Chelsea came from behind to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 5–2 at Stamford Bridge.{{cite news|title=Chelsea 5-2 Wolves|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3552957.stm|access-date=9 December 2014|publisher=BBC Sport|date=27 March 2004}} Chelsea finished the season in second place and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League; Hasselbaink played in both legs of the semi-final defeat to Monaco, as Chelsea lost 5–3 on aggregate.{{cite news|title=Monaco 3-1 Chelsea|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/champions_league/3638417.stm|access-date=21 February 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=20 April 2004}}{{cite news|title=Chelsea 2-2 Monaco|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/champions_league/3680039.stm|access-date=21 February 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=5 May 2004}}

In the 2005–06 season, he scored nine goals in 22 league games and eight in 22 cup appearances. He helped Steve McClaren's "Boro" to defeat Xanthi (Greece), Grasshoppers (Switzerland), Dnipro (Ukraine), Litex (Bulgaria), VfB Stuttgart (Germany), Roma (Italy), Basel (Switzerland) and Steaua București (Romania) en route to the UEFA Cup final.

Hasselbaink came to the attention of Netherlands manager Guus Hiddink whilst playing in England for Leeds United and made his international debut on 27 May 1998 in a 0–0 draw in a friendly with Cameroon at the GelreDome in Arnhem; he came on as a 61st-minute substitute for Marc Overmars.

Hiddink resigned and was replaced by his assistant Frank Rijkaard, who rarely picked Hasselbaink at international level. Hasselbaink next played on 18 August 1999, alongside Kluivert and Ruud van Nistelrooy in a friendly against Denmark; he was taken off for Clarence Seedorf, and the game ended 0–0.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=111}} He next appeared six months later, playing ten minutes against Germany and 70 minutes against Scotland, and despite van Nistelrooy being injured Hasselbaink was not selected for UEFA Euro 2000 as the five forwards chosen were Bergkamp, Kluivert, van Hooijdonk, Roy Makaay and Peter van Vossen.{{cite news|title=Hasselbaink out of Euro 2000|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/euro2000/teams/holland/772723.stm|access-date=14 November 2014|publisher=BBC Sport|date=1 June 2000}} He had been part of the 25 man initial squad but, along with André Ooijer and Winston Bogarde, was not chosen for the final 22.{{harvnb|Hasselbaink|2005|p=113}}

Hasselbaink is one of the few black football managers in England. After being hired by QPR, he was asked by Talksport if he felt that he had added responsibilities as a black manager, to which he answered:

{{cquote|No responsibility whatsoever.
